Request help with antique/hsitoric auto insurance

Greetings one and all,

I have a somewhat unique restored historic military vehicle. It has
been modified to be road-legal. I have had it insured through the same
company for three years(progressive). I just found out yesterday that
they have cancelled the policy. I won't go into the ridiculous reasons
they gave (indeed, had I not called them for another reason, I
wouldn't have even found out I'd been cancelled! They claim they sent
a notice out.....to my OLD address despite having on record that I
provided them a chance of address. According to the woman on the
phone, "I'm sorry sir, I guess someone didn't pay attention to the
file....")

Anyway, I'm am looking for advice or suggestions for insurance
companies that might specialize in insuring unique and/or historic
vehicles. Either specific companies or pointers as to how to locate a
good company. It took me *FOREVER* to find this one back a couple of
years ago when I first put the vehicle on the road and the rate seems
kind of high....but I was between a rock and a hard place. I'd like to
find a better company if I can.

Thank you!

One I've seen in my old mags is Hagerty Insurance, specifically for old
vechicles.

Good luck, John

I have four antique / classic autos insured with Haggerty. They are
good folks to deal with. The policies which they write have
substantially less restrictions on the use of insured vehicles than
other Agencies which I researched.

They even have a road side assistance program which covers flatbed
towing for only $15.00 per year for the policy. All four of my cars on
the policy are covered for that one yearly charge.
