We have all heard this tragic story. A friend of a friend or your brother’s wife’s uncle’s son’s girlfriend’s cousin has a classic car. He spent hours painstakingly restoring it to all its former glory. The paint is immaculate, the engine purrs like a kitten, the chrome is dazzling. It is a beautiful car. It is perfection on four wheels. But your friend’s friend — or your brother’s wife’s uncle’s son’s girlfriend’s cousin, as the case may be — did not see the point in insuring his gorgeous, sleek classic. He figured, hey, it’s just for show, it’s his hobby, he never drives it — why insure it? This thought, no matter when it occurs, should always be filed under “obvious foreboding.” In this case, maybe the pipes in his garage burst. Maybe a tree crashed through the roof of the garage during a wicked storm and smooshed the car to bits.
The circumstances are always different, but the moral of the story is the same. A classic car is an investment. It does not matter if you never drive it. It does not matter if you simply display it in a car show once a month. Anything can happen! Insure your classic car, because nothing is going to replace all the time, hard work, and effort you put into it, if something disastrous happens.
