Re: IML: Collector Car Insurance

[dansgarage@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

-Hi All.....when I checked for insurance on my '66 Imperial convertible, I found out that the local AAA Club now has started to insure the Collector Car market. If you have your other cars (and maybe your house) also insured with them there is a additional discount.
You might check it out.

I used to live in St. Louis and looked into a Missouri Antique plate for
my 66 Newport that I owned at the time. I believe that you had to keep a
note book in the car at all times documenting where and when you had
driven it amongst other restrictions.  I am sure that every State is
different.

  Yes there are restrictions. One I believe is that you cannot tow with
  a vehicle with an antique plate. There are others. I do not drive
  this car very much and I do not believe that the police are too
  worried about enforcing those restrictions anyway. Bigger fish to
  fry! I feel that it is very nice to have this option if you can use
  it and do not abuse it.

  Also I have insurance through State Farm tagged on with my other
  policies which runs about $8/month. This is for an Antique vehicle
  with limited use with no collision/comp which again is appropriate.
  My total non operating cost for this vehicle runs about $100/year
  (soon to be one tank full of gas!!!!!!!). 

   This choice fit perfectly with my use of the car. Also, in
  Washington, you only need the rear plate for an antique vehicle which
  I think makes the car a little more aesthetically pleasing. I really
  love the front end of the Fuselage Imperials, especially the 69's and
  they look even better without the front licence plate (in my
  opinion).

    Here in Washington State I got an antique plate for my 1969
    LeBaron.
    It cost about $60.

    I never have to do anything again for this car. No tax, no
    registration, no safety inspection... Sweeeeeet

    Fred,

    Are there restrictions on when and where you can drive your car?
    I
    live in DC and when I went to have my '73 inspected, the
    inspetion
    tech told me not to get Antique plates, since that would limit
    when I
    could drive my car. Only on weekends, holidays and parades. I
    went
    ahead and got regular plates, and can enjoy my car all the time.
