I know this is a slightly sensitive subject. But, do any of you have information (stories) about the three largest antique car insurers? I am thinking of changing from State Farm. Thanks!

I use Hagerty for all 4 of my vehicles My Packard is insured for 23K for about 100 per year!

Used Grundy for four cars for about twenty years no problems.

I've had J.C. Taylor for about 45 years, never a problem but really I think you can only judge on the basis of having claims, and how they were handled. I had one, about 44 years ago, stolen radiator mascot. The paid instantly for a replacement, and covered all phone and shipping costs. That's not a lot experience to base a recommendation on, but I've never seen a reason to change.

By all means change from State Farm. Ditto Owen on J.C. Taylor. I insure 6 cars at the moment for about $400 a year.

Well this is going to sound odd. But I use to use Taylor. But, changed them to Chubb as they would do the hole fleet. They realized that I in no way can drive 10 cars at a time. So they have them at a much lower rate and there is no restrictions.

Hi Dave, I changed my insurance over to Hagerty several years ago and got 4 cars insured for what my other company wanted for 3. I had a costly claim two years ago and Hagerty send a adjuster to inspect the damage and even tho the damage was done in a repair shop Hagerty covered all of the costs. I also like the fact that there are no mileage restrictions. They also have helped sponsor the Packard National Meets.
Happy hunting.
Did you get the message about the carb. # 644s ?

Thanks all. I'll make a choice soon.

Yes, I sent a PM to you about it. I believe it is jetted differently. So, I think I should keep looking. Thanks.
