[6pack] Hagerty Car Ins. up 14%??

[David Friedlander]

  I am not sure I understand the benefit of using insurers like Hagerty, 
Leland, Grundy
and the like....

I simply took my Six to a local reputable classic vehicle assessor and 
took his assessment
document to my State Farm agent who insures all my other cars, too. He 
promptly wrote me
a comprehensive policy for the full appraised value of the car. I'm not 
sure I see the benefit
offered by "classic" car insurance companies. Seems like fancy wrappings 
for a rather generic
product (car insurance) giving them a pretext upon which to charge a 
premium for their premiums!
