Classic Cars Southeast Conducts Seminar for Auto Insurance Representatives

________________________________________________________________________________

(February 25, 2008) As classic car ownership continues to grow, so does the need for an auto insurance program designed specifically for those “special category” vehicles.  Lebanon based, Classic Cars Southeast, recently held an educational seminar for several insurance industry personnel currently involved in writing policies on classic, antique and vintage autos.  The session was designed to educate the representatives on how to determine initial cost and repair of those special “prize vehicles” from the past. 

Bill Goodwin, a long time member of the Antique Automobile Club of America (AACA) assisted with the seminar by conducting a tour of the dealership’s museum-quality showroom.  During the tour he educated participants on the various classes of older automobiles and how pricing can be determined based on quality, rareness and uniqueness of the respective vehicle.  Goodwin is owner of several antique cars himself and has a special appreciation for the Cadillac LaSalle. 

Classic Cars Southeast representative, Ron Sturgis, coordinated tours of the company’s restoration facility and restoration foreman, Corey Jenkins, provided comprehensive information concerning specialized repair procedures that might become necessary for the vehicles.  Participants were given a thorough tour of the dealership’s 10,500 square foot “state-of-the-art” center where any project can be accomplished from minor tune-ups and performance upgrades to complete “frame-off” restorations.

“It was our sincere pleasure to assist the insurance underwriters,” said Dale Nunnery, founder and president of Classic Cars Southeast.  “We receive many comments concerning insurance on the vehicles we sell and this new experience has also offered beneficial information that we can pass on to our clients.”  American classic car ownership maintains an impressive growth pattern across the US and continues to spread throughout the international community.

Over the past several months, the dealership exported vehicles to such international destinations as Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland and Sweden.  It is common for the dealership to receive inquiries about American classics from enthusiasts located in various countries around the globe.  Additional information on the classic car dealership and restoration center can be located on their website at classiccarsse.com.
