Collector / Antique Auto:
Collector / Antique Auto protection is very inexpensive. To qualify for this coverage, it has been said that any vehicle 20-25 years old or older was considered a collectible / antique auto. Today this is not always the case. Automakers' production numbers significantly increased in the mid-1970's and quality standards fell. Because of this, there are some mid-1970's and 80's vehicles that are not considered collectible.
Other examples of vehicles that may qualify:
* Newer & limited production vehicles
* Trucks & other utility vehicles
* Modified: low riders, street rods, replicas, & tuners
* Retired commercial vehicles: fire trucks & other vehicles
* Motorsports: pro-street & any raced vehicle
* Trailers
* Vehicles under restoration
* Military Vehicles
* Tractors
