Throughout the year the NCM Insurance Agency attends many car shows. While the main reason for attending is to see out current customers and to meet new customers, another is to keep up with industry trends and see what emerging opportunities are available.
While at the 2019 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals we met Wendy, Nikki and Mark from Protect Assurance and were excited to see a Mechanical Powertrain Coverage referred to as CARE+. We have spent the last several months working with their team to develop a program, available for purchase exclusively online, for your Classic Cars, Antique Automobiles, Restomods, and most other collector vehicles that we insure.
The limited powertrain protection mirrors your driving habits and our policies with tiered mileage plans. The coverage covers the engine, transmission and other components of the powertrain. This is the only mechanical protection plan available with built in flat-bed towing reimbursements. This program is backed by an AM Best rated insurance carrier.
We are excited to be able to offer this coverage to you. Our goal is to provide the absolute highest levels of coverage for all aspects of your most prized possession.

This month we have been on a marathon mission! The NCM Insurance Agency has been at 5 shows over the last month meeting many new faces and seeing many of our current friends/customers. The month of May has been a car person’s month.
The National Corvette Museum hosted the annual C5/C6 Bash bringing over 1,000 people into Bowling Green. This event draws folks in from all over the world to celebrate the creation of the C5 (1997-2004) and C6 (2005-Current) Corvettes. Many of GM’s top Corvette engineers, designers, marketers, etc come to this event along with racing drivers and team members from Corvette Racing. We host a ton of road tours to various scenic destinations from bourbon distilleries to wineries and manufacturers of great homemade artisan cheeses. We ended the event with the Margaritaville Banquet in the National Corvette Museum’s conference center. This is an event that should not be missed!
The next weekend we attended the National Street Rod Association South East event in Knoxville, TN. I am used to Corvette events, but if you are a car person you need to add this to your bucket list! Some of the finest street rods in the country along with some of the top vendors of rodding goodies were in attendance. We had the pleasure of meeting all new faces at this event, and we hope that we were able to educate folks about what we have to offer. Check out our facebook page for photos of the event. We will also be attending the NSRA Nationals in Louisville, KY this August! Look for us there!
The following weekend we were home at the C4 Gathering here at the National Corvette Museum. This is a great event that really caters to the lovers of the C4 Corvette (1984-1996). This event draws a large number of ZR-1 and Grand Sport Enthusiasts. We had an outstanding display of modified ZR-1’s including 3 Lingenfelter cars, 2 of which have the rare body package. We had a great looking twin turbo ZR-1 along with a rare 1986 prototype ZR-1! This year also marked the 15th anniversary of the 1996 Grand Sport with the LT4 engine. We had two 1996 Grand Sports, a 1963 Grand Sport replica, and a new Grand Sport on display. This event is getting better and better each year!
A couple of weekends later we found ourselves in the great state of Texas. We attended the Lone Star Corvette Classic at Texas Motor Speedway. The Lone Star Corvette Club (largest single club in the US) puts on a great show! We began at the Marriott hotel in Fort Worth with registration and with some of the vendors who were setup. Friday evening was mix and mingle with participants and vendors, sample the taco bar and then NCM Insurance Agency proudly sponsored the dessert table. Saturday started bright and early at Texas Motor Speedway under the grandstands where we set up our insurance display, and we also brought the Corvette Store to Dallas. We had a great turn out and saw some amazing Corvettes! The Lone Star Corvette Club has been an outstanding supporter of the National Corvette Museum, and they also were the first club to purchase Car Club Liability and Directors and Officers coverage from us. We appreciate all that this club does for us!
As I type this we are in our 2nd day of the Corvette Forum Cruise In. This event holds a special place in my heart as it was an event I helped create back in October of 1999. Because of this event and Corvette Forum I have many friendships that I truly cherish. I met my lovely wife, Kelly, through the Corvette Forum as well! This year was a special year as we also hosted 80 Wounded Warriors from Fort Campbell and Fort Knox. The participants of the Corvette Forum Cruise In drove to each military base and picked up a solider that is part of the Wounded Warriors program. These soldiers were lead by the Kentucky State Police back to the National Corvette Museum where they were treated to a BBQ lunch, and guided tours of the National Corvette Museum and the Corvette Assembly Plant. They wrapped up the day with whoopie pies (from the Corvette Café), brownies and a great goodie back pack donated by Mobil 1. This was a great way to start our Memorial Day weekend, by recognizing and honoring those who protect our freedom!
As you can see the month has been jammed pack full of activities. We are looking forward to a couple weekends at home, then we are back on the road to the Ault Park Concours d’Elegance in Cincinnati, OH. We hope to see you at an event near you sometime soon!

With every new generation Corvette comes an unmatched excitement and anticipation for what GM has designed. This generation, the 8th, could be argued to be the most anticipated CAR (not just Corvette) to date. If you live off the grid, deep in the woods, with no communication to the outside world and you haven’t heard or seen… Yes, the C8 will be the first production mid-engine Corvette from GM. Rumors started swirling around early in 2019 that 2020 will be the year GM finally switches to the mid-engine and since the unveiling, on 07.18.19, the Corvette world has been left drooling. So much so, it even picked up MotorTrend Car of the Year, 2020 NACTOY, MotorWeek Best Performance car of 2020 and Best of the Year. We are sure many more awards are to come!
2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible
If you are lucky enough to call Bowling Green home, you have been fortunate enough to see these cars driving the streets daily. Even having seen them for months, in each passing brings a quick head turn and a “WOW”. Those not as fortunate as us in Bowling Green, who have allocations or orders in for the 2020 are finally starting to see their cars coming down the production line with the $3,000,000 VIN 001 leading the pack off the line on February 3rd.
We are following the excitement on various forums, Facebook groups and hearing the excitement from customers who are tracking their orders. Excitement is growing, production is happening, and soon…..very soon….you will be in the drivers seat of your new, world class Corvette!
While most consumers don’t have to worry about insuring their Corvette for $3,000,000, none the less, you will still have to insure it. Most buyers simply call their standard auto agent and have them add it to their policy. Don’t get stuck paying higher premiums for a car you drive for pleasure. Collector vehicle insurance exists for this reason. With our three mileage tiers 1k, 3k or 6k your premiums are based off how often you really drive the vehicle. Also, with the agreed value portion of the policy we lock in your purchase price with no deprecation for the lifetime of the policy.
Being inside the National Corvette
Museum gives us an advantage that no other insurance agent or company has. We don’t just understand your passion, we
live it! We understand the lineage of
your car, and where it came from.
2020 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible
Now, just because we are inside the
Museum, that does not mean we only insure the Corvette. We can insure ANY collector vehicle. You may also own a Chevelle, Mustang,
Ferrari, or a Cobra replica. We can
insure those, too! When you have
multiple collector vehicles on a policy you will see the savings only multiple.
Are you ready to give us a shot? Give one of our agents a call at 877.678.7626 for a no obligation quote. It will be worth your time!
One of the items needed to start a policy is the Declarations of Coverage Pages. These are for the vehicle(s) that you and members of your household drive every day.
We are often asked “why do you need these?” Well, we are required to obtain a copy per our carrier. It list important information like:
That you own daily use vehicles.
Effective dates.
Policy Coverage’s.
Who else is covered on the policy.
We are required to show the carrier that you and other members of the household have daily use vehicle(s) that are currently insured, that the vehicle(s) that we are going to insure are not intended for daily use and lastly, not to exceed liability coverage on your standard auto policy.
Below you will find examples of what is needed from your standard auto company:
My relationship with NCM Insurance began in June of 2019 when my previous insurance company let me down. I purchased a new McLaren 600LT that they would not insure – AFTER providing me a quote for said McLaren. My previous Insurance Company told me that it was in error, and there was nothing that they could do. I needed to shop for a new insurance company and fast! After contacting several insurance companies and obtaining quotes, I found the NCM Insurance Agency to be competitively priced and easy to work with.
They have Excellent
customer service and competitive pricing for customized insurance, to cover all of our weekend collectibles. They
are very accommodating and friendly.
I think people should know that The NCM Insurance Agency offers
insurance to non-Corvette owners as well, and is still competitive. The agreed
value policy allows me to adjust coverage on my policy as the value changes (up
or down) saving me money. They did an
excellent job putting this all together, and did it quite quickly!
CALL THEM. They are not high pressure, if its not a fit –
you won’t spend all day just trying to find that out. Chances are, they can
help you too! I was worried at first, because none of my cars are (currently)
Corvettes , but they still offered me the best coverage and insurance package
for the three weekend collectibles we own and use for pleasure.
We are very pleased with the new coverage and the NCM
Insurance Agency!
I am writing to express my appreciation for the NCM Insurance Agency. I have (had) a 2008 Z06 Corvette that was highly modified with RWHP at more than 1,300 – yet comfortable to drive. I had spent a great deal of money putting together this show car that had under 20,000 miles on it when the following occurred:
My car caught fire with me in it! Not 100%
sure of the cause, but I believe it was the alternator that caught fire. Long
story short, I was able to coast to a stop while the flames were growing out of
control, and the cabin was uninhabitable. I was not able to do anything but
stand by as I watched my special car burn to the ground despite the efforts of
the local fire department. Needless to say – it was a total loss.
While a devastating loss, as you car guys and
gals can fully understand, a positive claims response is key. The NCM Insurance
Agency and American Modern Insurance Company responded compassionately, and
quickly and paid the Agreed Value amount which escalated annually at 4.00%.
They did not raise any concerns or express any doubt of anything reported. They
just took care of the situation.
Bottom line to me was that while a terrible
experience had happened, NCM Insurance responded with an AAAA++++ performance
and I highly recommend them for insuring your special cars.
A sincere thank you, and this NCM member is truly
appreciative of this special entity and the role they play in the enjoyment of
our special cars.
I have owned collector cars since the 1980s and have used most
every collector insurance company that is out there today. Having never had a
claim, thank goodness, I only had two ways of evaluating a collector car
insurance agency. Price is certainly important, but I have learned not to
simply buy on price. The second, and actually the most important thing to
evaluate is a bit more complex. That somewhat more subjective thing is service.
Everyone says that they have good service, however I have come to
learn that maybe my threshold for good service is somewhat higher than some in
what I find acceptable. I learned this first hand a few year ago when I was
insured through another company for my collector cars.
I once owned a 1996 Impala Super Sport (yes, the black menacing
looking one) and I loved that car. It was one of a very few cars I kept for
over 100,000 miles. A few years ago, I decided I wanted another one and found a
very low mile perfect example. I bought it and called my collector car
insurance company to add it to the policy. The “underwriter” came
back and told me that they would not insure a ‘96 Caprice. I politely stated
that an Impala SS is certainly very different from a Caprice. I was told that it
was no different based upon the VIN. They finally and begrudgingly agreed to add
the car, again balking at its stated value, but did it based on our
relationship. Well, by now we clearly had differing views on our
‘relationship.’
The next day I phoned the NCM Insurance Agency. Bobbie Jo was the first person I spoke with at NCM. Well, what a difference from the “how can I not help you” person from the other company. Friendly. Knowledgeable. Simply said, a competent person who made me feel that my insurance needs were important to her, too! What a change that was!
Oh, and yes, she immediately and intuitively knew than an
Impala SS was different from a Caprice. I completed the paperwork that night,
became a customer of NCM Insurance the very next day, and have never looked
back! I should add that my premium also went down from what I had been paying.
Better, friendlier service, and I was saving money.
Marty’s 1995 Corvette Pace Car
As a customer for a few years now I can unequivocally say I have
no plans of ever going to another agency, ever! Anytime I need to change a car
or have a question, everyone I speak with is helpful, efficient and friendly.
If you own a collector car and are not currently insured through
the NCM, I strongly urge each of you to call Adam, Bobbie-Jo, Sharon, or Sam,
and discuss your needs with them. I am confident that you will experience the
same level of exceptional service that I receive each and every time.
As the owner of Conte’s Corvettes and Classics, I am constantly
asked by friends buying their first or another classic car who I suggest for
insurance. I smile and simply say, “Do what I do myself, call my friends
at NCM.” Most all do, and most go out of their way to let me know that
their experience is exactly like mine and thank me for letting them know about
NCM. It is just so rewarding to deal with friends who know what they are doing
and do it well each and every time. That is what you get from NCM Insurance. Check
it out, and I am confident that you too will agree My thanks to the entire team
at NCM for being there and for what you do!
