Love (And Protect) Your Classic Car (NAPSA)—As America’s baby boomers grow older, their interest in collectible, antique classic cars also grows. For those unfamiliar with this trend, collectible vehi- cles include everything from classics and antiques to exotics, street rods, pro-street race cars, replicas and custom trucks. The good news is that when boomers say “I do” to their classic cars, there’s now a more economical way to insure theclassic and collector car. This can be a nice plus in an economythat’s down right now. Classic car owners who treat their cars as prized possessions— with a mentality of “nobody touches my car but me”—can now insure their prize possession with an economy plan when they drop their mileage. This is not hard, since most car collectors often drive fewer than 1,000 miles a year. What’s Your Classic Car Worth? Of further interest is that these cars can also be worth a lot. Cars from the late 1960s and early 1970s—which baby boomers yearned for at the time but couldn’t afford—are rising in value. For example, a few years ago you could buy a 1969 Camaro for $12,500 to $25,000, depending on the model. Now, the 69 Camaros range from $40,000 to $100,000.
