As an insurance agent I recommend (and follow that advice) of using those 
carriers who specialize in antique, classic, special interest vehicles. They 
simply know what they are doing in that area better than main line carriers.
I particularly like Grundy Worldwide, and can provide contact numbers is 
anyone wants.
