With every new generation Corvette comes an unmatched excitement and anticipation for what GM has designed. This generation, the 8^th, 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!

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 3^rd.

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. 

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!

 

It has been nearly a month since I have last written, and I think it is partially due to the fact that car show season is about over.  It is a shame!  The NCM Insurance Agency has attended many shows this year and met some amazing people along the way. We have a couple more shows this year, and we will be taking a little break.  Over the next several months you will see new press releases with some exciting features we are adding for both policy holders and what we hope to be future policy holders.

The NCM Insurance Agency has one more off-site show this year, and it is in one of our favorite cities.  We will be setting up at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals just outside of Chicago, IL.  The event is November 19^th and 20^th located at the Donald E Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL.

MCACN is the largest indoor car show around and attracts many very unique show cars or rare cars.  Some of the  special displays include the Class of 1971 40^th display which will feature hardtops, convertibles and a 1971 LS6 Corvette display.  You will be treated to some of the country’s rarest and most desirable muscle cars from 1971.  Some additional features at the show will be the 50^th anniversary of the 1961 model year, Dodge Challenger T/A Reunion, Motion Madness, Midget Racer Mania, the famous Shelby Snakepit, Corvette Triple Diamond Showcase and Competition, sYc Supercar Showcase, sYc Members Showcase, ZL1/COPO Invitational Display, 2^nd Generation Camaro L78 display, etc.

As you can see there will be many great classic muscle cars on display, and we would love to see you there!  We will have our mobile quoting command center (sounds fancy!) along with our poster giveaway.  Stop by, get a quote and get a great looking poster by artist Sabastian Poole.

We look forward to seeing many great friends and hope to make new ones!

Are you interested in attending the show?  Check out www.mcacn.com for more information.

In April a great friend of the National Corvette Museum and a customer of the NCM Insurance Agency received a call as he came out to the NCM for the C5/C6 Bash that he will not forget anytime soon.  He was told that a wildfire started near his house and destroyed some of his prized possessions.



We caught up with Holt when he returned to the Corvette Museum for the 17th Annual Labor Day Celebration, and he wanted to share his experience with you all.







The NCM Insurance Agency proudly writes Collector Car Insurance for AMIG or American Modern Insurance Group on an Agreed Value policy. To have the same great coverage as Holt, put together a quote at www.ncminsurance.com or give us a call at 877.678.7626.

Are you going to Corvettes at Carlisle this year? Are you looking to buy a new car? If so, the NCM Insurance Agency will be available to write your Collector Car Insurance coverage immediately!

We are conveniently located under the Grandstands which are connected to the Food Court. We are in the next building over from the Orrstown Bank and Chip’s Choice Display. Our spot is #27 and we will be prepared to provide instant coverage for the new addition.

The NCM Insurance Agency is more than an insurance agency…as part of the National Corvette Museum, we are pleased to offer Corvette insurance, collector car insurance and car club insurance. Our programs are not just limited to Corvettes – we will accept just about any make and model of collector vehicle! The NCM Insurance Agency has been writing business in almost every state since April of 2009.

We offer flexible usage as well as the Nine-to-Five Driver endorsement that allows you to drive your Corvette or other Collector Car to work up to 2 times per week. We also offer mileage options and many deductible options ranging from $0, $250, $500, etc. Most importantly we offer an Agreed Value Coverage policy. We do not believe in a one size fits all policy, so stop by and let us tailor a package just for you.

We look forward to working with you!

Today was a great day here at the National Corvette Museum. Mr. Rick Hendrick, Owner of Hendrick Motorsports, picked up 3 cars from us that he has recently purchased from Barrett Jackson and other benefit auctions. He also brought 3 cars with him from his personal collection. Below is a video of the cars and you will also find several photos that I took. I hope that you enjoy!

 

Common misconceptions on the NCM Insurance Agency 

The past 3 years of the NCM Insurance Agency have been an amazing time!  We now insure nearly 50 million dollars worth of Collector Vehicles and have tripled our business in the last year alone!  We are a rapidly growing insurance agency that is making a ton of buzz in the industry.  We could not be growing as much as we have been without our current customers spreading the word about what we do.  We cannot thank you enough! 

The NCM Insurance Agency has attended many shows over the last 3 years and talked with thousands of people on the phone.  Every once in a while we will hear things like “I have a new Corvette” or “where are you actually located”, etc.  We would like to take this opportunity to share the answers to our frequently asked questions. 

“We have a new Corvette, you won’t insure that.” 

Collector Car Insurance does not mean Classic Car Insurance, and the majority of the cars we insure are newer Corvettes, 1997-current.  There are limitations on usage to qualify for Collector Car Insurance – cars cannot be used for daily use such as going to the grocery store, mall, Dr’s office, golf course, etc.  If you use your Corvette or any other collector car for the occasional pleasure trip, club events, car shows, parades then you may qualify.  We have several mileage options to choose from as well from 1K, 3K and 6K miles. 

“Where are you actually located?” 

We are based out of and operated by the National Corvette Museum. Our agent, Adam Boca,
is a employee of the National Corvette Museum.  100% of the commission goes to directly support and further the mission of the NCM.  We are not an agency or a company that the NCM endorses, we ARE the NCM. 

“I have other collector cars and you only insure Corvettes” 

While the business of the National Corvette Museum is Corvettes, the NCM Insurance Agency insures many other cars besides Corvettes.  If you have multiple collector cars or corvettes we have some of the best rates when it comes to collections.  We would love to have the opportunity to quote your street rod, muscle car, Corvette, exotic cars, kit car, vintage motorcycles, collection, etc.  Give us a shot, and let’s see if we can save you money and offer you the best customer service available. 

We hope that this helps answer questions on what we have to offer.  No matter the type or year of collector vehicle we would love to have the opportunity to provide a quote for you.  Please check out our website at www.ncminsurance.com or give us a call at 877.678.7626.

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 15^th 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 2^nd 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!

The NCM Insurance Agency unveiled a redesigned website this week that makes quoting collector car insurance as easy as the click of a button. The redesign allows current customers the opportunity to manage their policies, request ID cards, make policy changes and more. The new site also helps the National Corvette Museum more effectively provide useful information about collector vehicle coverages and offer online tools to facilitate the process for them.



“The previous website had a great nostalgic feel, but failed to provide important and useful information to current and future clients,” said NCM Insurance Agent Adam Boca. “The new website is easier to navigate for visitors and creates a positive experience, with useful Corvette and collector car insurance information in an easy-to-browse format.”



NCM Insurance is provided through American Modern Insurance Group, which offers discounts for eligible Museum Members. “American Modern Insurance Group was founded in 1965 and is a national leader in specialty insurance. The company’s financial stability is rated A+ (Superior) by an independent industry analyst and is acknowledged for its claim service,” according to Dave Seibert, American Modern sales representative.



“What makes NCM unique is its national reach from its vantage point within the National Corvette Museum,” Seibert explained. “It is truly integrated into the history and future of the ‘Corvette culture’ and has leveraged its special knowledge to serve the insurance needs of virtually all collector vehicles. This new website should allow the NCM Insurance Agency to enhance their customers’ experience, and that supports the mission of the Museum.”



Boca said that 100% of the agency’s commissions go to support the Museum. “We want to become a leading provider of Corvette and collector car insurance, and with this new website, we are on the right track,” he said.



NCM Insurance offers insurance plans for owners who drive up to 1K, 3K or 6K miles per year who occasionally drive their cars to enthusiast events, club meetings and on special trips.



“The new website provides free quotes, making it simple to compare your coverage options,” Boca said. “I encourage owners to log on to www.ncminsurance.org to discover what the NCM Insurance Agency has to offer. You can also connect with NCM Insurance on Facebook and Twitter at facebook.com/pages/NCM-Insurance-Agency/225876839230 and twitter.com/NCMInsurance.”



The National Corvette Museum is dedicated to the mission of celebration, education and preservation, and is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT – located at Exit 28 on I-65 in Bowling Green, KY.
