Bull, in my personal opinion, I would rather have a car that I can enjoy,than a car that is a trailer queen. One of the people here that has a beautiful car is flash, no offense to anyone else. The reason that I say that about Ms flash's 72 convertible is because they drive their car everywhere. And I don't mean to the local car shows, they have taken many trips all over the states in their car, and it is just beautiful. Partially because they take wonderful care of it, but mostly because it has "character" for all it's trips.

Anyone can have a show car ,it takes someone special (short bus) or crazy like us to actually drive all over the country in a classic car.And we sure do have fun being special and we still have the dirt on the car from Maine to prove it .Soon it will get the cleaning it deserves and then the El Camino comes out for its time to shine.

Well it's by far not a trailer queen and pops built it to drive and that's what I will do is drive it. Although with the collector car insurance I'm only able to cruise 2500 miles a year and in Texas where the sun always shines I think I'll be paying more for insurance next year. Lol.

You don't have to answer this, but curious who is your insurance company? There is a whole thread dedicated to car insurance and the pro's and con's to a lot of them out there. For me, I have Grundy, and I am not limited on my miles. But here in Michigan it may be different than for you in Texas.

I have Hagerty and no mileage limits as long as its not daily driver.

Flash if you have no limits than how would they know it's not a daily driver? I have Hagerty as well and pay $400 a year but am limited. But that's okay I have a nice Dodge Dually that I love driving as well. Also @ 8 miles a gallon and Super Unleaded @3.75 a gallon it's those times that I really cherish being behind the wheel.
