Hi Stu,
Yes, American Collectors (in a genuine gesture of helpfulness)
recommended I contact Condon & Skelly and even gave me their
800 number. The number was busy yesterday so I'll have to try
again today.
I don't mind the 2500 mile rule. American Collectors has a 3000
mile rule so we're used to that. $500 sounds like a nice low
premium for your Ferrari, which I know is in great shape.
By the way, what year is the Ferrari?
Glad to hear you've made a claim and actually had it satisfied. In
the 13 years we've had the 4/4 there has never been a single claim,
nor a tow required, not that I'm complaining).
I prefer a New Jersey company so that if I have a major problem
with a claim I can go right down to the head office and pound my
fist on someone's desk. Beats the heck out of being put on HOLD
by somebody named "Bobbi" in Wisconsin.
(No offense to Wisconsin - love their cheese)

Joe, I have Condon & Skelly and I insured my 308 for about $500 but they
limit your mileage to about 2500 per year. They used St Paul Mercury Ins Co
as the carrier and they have been reliable when I made a claim. JC Taylor
seems to be popular with some folks, too. I think Bill Lowenberg used them
for his +8 with no restrictions. I'll try to find out what company he uses.
Condon & Skelly is located in NJ, around Camden area (Maple Shade) (609)
324-3434.
