Dan I will check them out. I have
one problem and that is the reason I went with my insurance company I have our
house and other cars with. That is that I want my daughter to be able to
drive the car also. Most of the collector’s insurance company’s
state all drivers either have to be 26 years old or older or have more years
driving experience than my daughter has. She is 22 today, and that does
not qualify with all the companies I have checked with.

After checking several agencies, and finding out my normal
car insurance would not give me the coverage I want, I went with Grundy! Great
price and unlimited mileage! They were recommended to me by a car museum! So
far so good!!

That
is Lafayette, California. A small town east of San Francisco
near Walnut Creek. I had (and still have) my policy with the home and
auto insurer so I can drive the cars when and where I want to. The
"policy" was not a hard and fast one, just a tactic that they tried
to use to end the process quickly. They figured I'd take the cash out and
be happy, but I really wanted my car repaired!
My final resolution was to write a detailed letter to the local office, the
regional office, and the home office, as well as every media outlet I could
think of. They decided to fix the car the next week.

Hi Brad,
I looked at your web
sight, your cars and family. Both look very nice and you are a lucky
person.
I noticed pictures of Lafayette. I am sure it
isn’t, but is that Indiana? My daughter attends Purdue University there. They are having a large car show “Dancing in
the Streets” July 30. I won’t be able to go in that I will
have only been out of the hospital about two weeks from my second 3 disc fusion
in the lower back, I may be making a mistake, but I have told my daughter if I
couldn’t make it she could take the car and enter it herself.
I read what you said
about the insurance and that really makes me a little nervous. I have the
car insured with my home and auto insurance rather than collectors insurance so
my daughter can drive the car at times. It is insured for a certain
amount, but your comment about 60% vs. 80% concerns me. I think I better
contact my agent and speak to him prior to my daughter taking it to any shows
without me.

Dave,
Sorry to hear about this. I've been involved in a crash just like this
one. All I can say is to fully document everything starting now. I
was in my '66 Corvette when some guy in a pickup started, stopped, and then
started his left turn in front of me. At the time, he apologized and
appeared to take responsibility. By the next time I heard from my
insurance company, he decided I must have been speeding (he says at least 55) and
that is why I hit him.
The next complication was that my insurance company (they were the ones to work
with since there was a question of fault) decided that my car was an "old
Chevy" and that the "junk" percentage would be 60% of assessed
value instead of the 80% that they use for new cars.
This turned into a long, long battle with both my insurance company and the
other one as all I wanted was to have my car repaired. Having full
documentation of the car and every conversation really helped keep things
clear. Good luck and let us know if you need any help or run into problems in
the next few months.

The
Beaumont Takes One
We went
for a nice little cruise Friday and when I was coming back into town a Mini Van
was stopped ready to make a left turn in front of me. For some reason she
decided to try to make it and I was too close and couldn't get it stopped in
time. Everyone is fine. I am thankful we were in the Beaumont and not our
little Honda. They do take a good hit. She was charged but now I have to get
the hot rod fixed. It doesn't look to bad in the pictures but it needs a bunch
of work now.
I am now
looking for some parts. Any help is appreciated.
