I have had State Farm's classic car insurance on my '56 MGTF1500 for at least 6
years and on the '70 Corvette for at least 5 years and I have never had State
Farm ask me for odometer readings. Now on the other hand, both my '04 Corvette
Z06 and '03 Siverado pickup are on regular policies but are classified in the
under 7500 miles per year catogory and at least once or twice a year State Farm
sends me a letter asking what the current odometer reading is on each of those
(on the truck I'm easily making it, on the Z06 I'm at 6600 miles and have two
months to go before my year is up - so I drove the '70 Vette today ;-))

That's what I was told also. but I asked for a policy before I signed up, I
read it. I made comments about the mileage and garage issue to the
agent/salesperson I didn't get much of a response. I belive they want you to
THINK you have a mileage limit, it needs to be in the garage and it cannot
be driven casually.
