Good to hear your insurer was flexible - I’m shopping around for my first policy now, and it’s reassuring to know some companies actually get the vintage car thing. Guess it pays to ask questions and push a little for what you need...

Yeah, flexibility is great, but honestly, don't get too comfortable. I've found insurers can be all smiles until you actually need something specific - then suddenly it's like pulling teeth. Definitely ask questions, and don't be shy about pushing back. I once had to explain to an agent why my '68 Mustang wasn't just an "old car"... took a while, but eventually he got it. Just keep your expectations realistic and your patience handy.

Had a similar experience with my old Camaro - insurers just don't get classics sometimes. Curious, anyone here had luck finding an insurer who actually understands vintage cars when dealing with SR-22?

Went through something similar with my '72 Mustang a while back. Regular insurers just saw an old car, not a classic... ended up checking out specialty insurers like Hagerty or Grundy. They seemed way more chill about classics, even with SR-22 stuff involved. Might be worth a shot?

Had a different experience when I tried Hagerty for my Benz last year - super friendly folks, but they weren't thrilled about the SR-22. Ended up sticking with a local agent who knew the ropes...guess it varies?
