Hello Kenyon, I'll try and keep this reply brief so we can
all get back to our Imperials.
I got started in this hobby when my father let me
sit on his lap when I was 4 years old and "drive" the Buick. I've been messing
with cars ever since. I've been in AACA and judging at a national level for
nearly twenty years as well as belonging to a number of other clubs. My
credential are availble to anyone, just contact me off-line.
Having an appraisal done can be a real asset when
either getting your insurance or when buying / selling a car. The insurance
companies support this because it helps the "how much insurance do you need?"
discussion. Full coverage is not what the car is worth. Stated value insurance
is much closer to that value.
Finding a good appraiser can be a challenge. As
others have noted, there are plenty of the "what value do you want guys" out
there. I always suggest three things: 1. Check the credentials closely. 2.
Is this someone you are comfortable with 3. Is this someone who could be
your expert (no conflict of interest ie: car dealer, insurance adjuster,
museum owner, etc.)
We put our organization together by drawing from
the hobby. Our website is www.i-van.org and
we do appraisals, pre-sale inspections, etc. I'd be happy to answer
anyone's questions off-line and thank you for your interest.
Now, let's get back to Imperials!
