[Shotimes] Car Insurance for old but "expensive" SHOs

[Donald Mallinson]

Ron,

In my case, I think I am under their "collector" car policy, 
and that covers much newer vevicles that are not daily driven.

They cover newer corvettes, vipers, things like that, and at 
first they said that the SHO was not "collectible" but I 
said, do they cover Edsels?  They said yes, same to things 
like newer corvettes and other examples of cars that are 
fairly rare, but not necessarily valuable.

I made the argument a car doesn't need to be expensive or 
rare, just loved to make it collectible.  The fact that we 
have the club and conventions and the (sometimes) published 
magazine (next one is about ready BTW) is what convinced 
State Farm that they could cover the SHO under that type of 
policy.
