Classic Auto Insurance - Learn the 5 Different Types of Classic Cars, Where Does Yours Fit Into?

Classic auto insurance is a special kind of insurance you would get for a classic, or veteran car.

There are 5 different kinds of classic cars you should be aware of, as you are going to need to find out which category yours falls into before you will even be able to get a policy.

There are actually different types of Classic Autos, and each one will have a different rate on their premiums, as they have different needs.

So it is best not to group them all into one category.

There are the different types of classic cars there are, including what year would put them into that kind of classification. All other cars can and are deemed to be "regular" cars and would just get regular insurance for them.

Veterans:

Up to 1904

Edwardian:

- 1905 - 1918

Vintage:

- 1918 - 1933

Classics:

- Manufactured before 1974

Cherished:

- collectible or rare cars that are around 5 - 10 years old, these fall more or less into the high end cars that were of limited edition. Just because your car is 5 - 10 years old, does not mean it will fall into this category, and you might just be looking at regular insurance.

The insurer will find the value of the car, and base the insurance starting with that, as well as what type of classic auto category it does fall into. Sometimes it might be best that you get your car appraised before you go off to get the insurance in the first place.

There is a chance you might get a discount for reduced mileage; so if you only are showing the car, or going to a car club, and not driving it all the time. This could effect the amount you have to pay for premiums.

You Can Get Special Insurance for Your Classic Cars Such as:

- written off in an accident

- courtesy cars; covers such things as events for rallies or sprints

- special coverage if the car is off the road while being restored, this is called laid up insurance.

Like all insurance, it is always best to get several different quotes, this still applies to classic auto insurance as well. Remember always arm yourself with as much knowledge as possible when shopping for any kind of insurance, otherwise you might walk away with a policy that does not suit your situation just right, and something might happen, and you find yourself out in the cold.

'57 4-Door Bel-Air

Here's something really interesting about the vintage '57 4-door Bel-Air;  In fact, it's the original copy from an ad run way back when this car was new to the market.

Ready?  Set?  Here's the original ad copy, along with some photos, for your enjoyment.

Saturday Evening Post Chevy

This sweet, smooth and sassy new Chevrolet has its own special way of going. It' spirited, sure...but a honey to handle. And if the roads out you way suddenly seem newer, that's Chevy's ride!

We might as well own up to it - there's a certain restless energy about the new Chevrolet. It's not the stay-at-home type at all. Even when it's parked in the drive-way, you can tell it's poised to travel.

The plain fact is this beauty's full of vim, vigor and V8 action! (horsepower, you know, ranges up to '245*.) But for all its fresh and frisky ways, Chevy's a real solid citizen on the highway.

It's a honey to handle--sure-footed on the curves, beautifully smooth on the roads that have seen better days, always quick and quiet in its response to your touch.

You'd have to go a long way to find a car that offers more pure pleasure.

But it's just a short trip to your Chevrolet dealer's...Chevrolet Division of General Motors, Detroit 2, Michigan.

*Optional at extra cost. 270-h.p.
high-performance V8 engine
also available at extra cost.

So, how's that for a "blast from the past"?

It's really cool, reading the ads the way they were written way back when.

Meanwhile, how about enjoying more 1957 Chevy's?  Here are some, right below, for your viewing pleasure.

Remember, the great thing about this list of cool 1957 Chevy's is that is changes every few days, so there are always more new pictures of very cool restorations to see.

The idea is to bookmark the page and come back often to see the latest listings of 57's.

1957 Chevrolet's came in 460 color combination's and this was 96 more than in 1956. Chevrolet was asked why so many different colors? The response was the 1957 Chevy's great styling needs a lot of great new colors to sell them.

Probably the most popular of the 1957 Chevrolet's color combination's was Matador Red on the Bel-Air Convertible. My favorite was the Onyx Black on the Bel-Air Sport Coupe in the 2 door hardtop probably held a close second in the most popular. My second favorite was the 2 door Nomad station wagon in the Tropical Turquoise. My dad had bought one of these when we moved to South Florida in 1958 from St. Augustine. We move down in an old 1948 Coupe this was way back when US 1 did not even go all the way. Part of the trip was on the old 441. You have not lived until you have gone across country in a 1948 Chevy Coupe.

1957 Chevrolet's were produced in 15 two tone color combination's and there were 16 solid colors in total. They had some of the strange combinations also like Colonial Cream and a Laurel Green. Who buys strange colors like that? You would think but they did sell and very well for Chevrolet.

Back in the 1950's, the body styles were 2 and 4 door sedans.

The two-door models were the sports coupe and hardtop.

There was also a four-door hardtop; these they called either a utility coupe or a sports sedan.

There were two style packages of the station wagons. First, the Bel-Air, was known as the Nomad or top of the line model. It had a sloped pillar behind the hardtop door plus sliding windows at the rear seat.

The four-door had two seating configurations a six passenger and a 9 passenger model. The 9 passenger was called the Townsman for the 150 series and the Bel-Air was called the Beauville.

Some believe that the 57 Chevy style came from the 1955 Cadillac El Dorado because some part of the designs were similar. Hmm, what do you think?

1957 Chevrolet Options

For luxury and comfort options were added. Air conditioning placed in a padded dash for a few. Power brakes and power steering allowed the ladies to enjoy their driving. An option for a signal seeking radio with a power antenna. You could get power seats and power windows. We love this option! The '57 also got a Hi-Tech option for surround sound. Great a second speaker that had a second volume control next to the radio.

The second Hi-Tech option was what they called an autotronic eye that sensed the light from oncoming traffic and dimmed the headlights automatically. The third Hi-Tech option was a ribbed plastic viewer that was added just above the speedometer. The reason for this was because the roof extended out over the windscreen and made it hard to see overhead traffic lights from the driver seat without leaning over. This Hi-Tech gadget allowed the driver to see the overhead light easier and safer.

1957 Chevy Engine Options

Fuel injection was introduced as an option on the Chevrolet's for the first time. The new 283 V-8 with solid lifters and fuel injection got 283 hp. A lower power model with hydraulic lifters and fuel injection was added giving 250 hp for the less sporty drivers. This made it a little easier to keep in top running condition for the families that were not the race car types that were into tuning all the time.

In each of the listings there are more pictures and they expand to full size so you can get a really good look at each one.
