RE: Mopar Swap Meet additions

[Bob Fortson <bobt1885@xxxxxxxxx>]

Try the designated value policies sold by the J.T.
Taylor agency...I told them the value...they wrote the
policy. There are some restrictions...i.e. locked
storage required, appraisal (if over $25,000 value)
and limited annual mileages, but all in all I'm happy.
Club drive ins, parades, shows, etc...are all ok.
