See You Down The Road

After many years serving the classic car community, Wisconsin Collector Car will be shutting down at the end of 2024. Thank you for all of the car show memories!

    I was very surprised when I heard they were discontinuing Olds. They were a well made automobile with good designs, they had some of the best models of any of the divisions. I thought the Aurora was an excellent car. I think they regret it now. I bet they lost some sales to the foreign after they stopped it.

    I agree, Oldsmobile made some excellent cars and had a great reputation. Unfortunately they decided to pull the plug, like GTO Man said I bet that they regret it now though.

    For my collector cars I use Hagerty Insurance. They provide an agreed value policy. They also provide a 24/7 roadside flatbed service for a very resonable price. But they did have a fairly large increase this year.

    What other insurance companies do people use and what do you think of them?

    There is a restriction where you can’t drive your collector car in January, right? Of course that doesn’t matter here in Wisconsin anyway because you wouldn’t want to drive in January!! Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif

    I think you are thinking about the restriction if you have collector plates.

    Yep that’s it!

    Mine is the newer AMC logo (1970-1987), I was also trying to get the old AM Script (1954-1969/1970), couldn’t find one small enough.

    You can always shrink it down. The GIMP is a great program to do that, and free too:

    Back in the 60’s/70’s, you could just have to see one side/back/front and you could tell exactly what make it is and what model it is, now, you need to see a logo to tell.

    Exactly! There was such a sense of style, but today its all the same. Like Cap said too you could even sometimes tell by just hearing it.

    Garibaldi is that a pic of you in your avatar or is that someone else? That person in the pic looks familar thats why I ask.

    Nope, that isn’t me, I’m not bald. icon_cheesygrin.gif

    No that is a picture of Jerry Doyle, the actor that plays the character of Michael Garibaldi on the scifi tv show Babylon 5. Michael Garibaldi is quite a character, he’s funny but has a really good intutition, which makes him perfect for the job of Security Chief about Babylon 5. He is also quite smart and clever. Anyway I picked Garibaldi as my forum alias and I had that funny picture of Jerry Doyle that I decided to use as my avatar. You can find more info on Jerry Doyle and Michael Garibaldi here:

    Yep, you’re right in the same area with us. Have you ever been to the Volo Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois?
