David -
I can't imaging that American Collectors Insurance isn't one of the ones you
tried, but my policy with them DOES allow use of the car for "occasional
pleasure usage." With the work thing, though, I suspect you will not be able
to use classic insurance, that's definitely a no-no -- though I can see
their point there. If you're driving it to work, it's really being used as a
"regular" car...
