I have all of my cars insured with Hagerty and have been a policyholder with them for over 10 years. Have a had one claim and no problems at all. Premium seems reasonable for the value.sigpicSee you in the future as I write about our past

I've used Hagerty for many years, never had a claim, so no personal experience, but I have heard they are good. Premium sounds reasonable, but watch out for use requirements.
The policy I have allows driving only for test/maintenance and for events, shows, club sponsored road trips and the like.

I've got my '67 Pontiac insured with Hagerty for 25+ years. The Stude is with AAA, since it's in the driveway
I've always found Hagerty's prices to be fair and their service excellent.

I am truly surprised that Hagerty would have accepted an $80K value for any post war Studebaker, including a 57 GH. I would be interested in finding out how/why they would have put themselves in possible financial jeopardy, by agreeing to a value that seems so far divorced from the established value for this model.

Thanks Guys!!...It’s a frame off restoration from Craig Piper of Westmoreland Antique Restoration. Completely stock except for adding a T400 tranny and single driveshaft ( have originals) Not a penny was spared, replaced the fenders and doors with NOS rather than repair the small rust spots, fortunate to get a set of the SS door sills from Victor, SS exhaust. The car is almost complete and I’ll post pics here soon, I’ve got before and after photos.... White, Gold fins and interior... Very Excited!!!!! Been a long and expensive venture😄😄

If Craig Piper did the car Hagerty is going to have and did not have a problem with the $80K request. Crig does suoer work and I know you will be pleased with it when he is done. Known him for a long time and seen cars that he has restored through the years including a 58 Packard Hawk.sigpicSee you in the future as I write about our past

So I switched to American Collectors Insurance. Higher valued, less money. Are they any good? Well, I can't say because I haven't crashed things yet.peter lee

Biff,
Your car sounds great! At the risk of sounding presumptuous, may I ask what use do you intend for the car? By this I mean will show the car and drive it seldom, or drive it while showing it, until it will require additional work to bring it back up to show standards, or just drive and display the car and ignore judging? I think I know the answer, but I would like to hear it from you.

I simply love the lines of the car and wanted to preserve it the best I could. My original intent was to do a Driver restoration however Craig convinced me to do a frame off as the car was an excellent candidate. With that being said my plans are to rub on it, marvel at it and occasionally drive it. I have no intentions of showing it or having it judged.

Biff,
A substantial number of us have started with the idea of preservation as a goal, only to become carried away by the the process of restoration. I think that it would be fun to check back with you in a few years to see how your goals might have changed.
