Greetings ~
For a classic car collector, the one thing you dread is a garage fire. Nothing else can not only damage your cherished automobiles, but can destroy them all together.
As a collector myself, I can join with these folks as I had a fire back in 1995 in my outside workshop. It burnt completely to the ground. I had a 1950 Packard sedan stored right next to the building, however, I was one of the lucky ones as the only damage to the Packard was some paint burns and a cracked rear window. But the workshop itself was a total loss. I lost every tool that I had. Not a thing survived.
I had insurance on the building and it's contents so I was able to rebuild and restock. Today I own a 1930 Chevrolet sedan and it is stored in my garage. As I am now 70-years old, this will probably be my last classic car. I worry constantly about a fire and take every precaution to protect the building.
In some of the following stories on this blog, the collections were NOT insured. This is very sad.
I really feel for these people. An antique car, or vehicle can become a close member of the family in many cases and the loss is terrible. The only thing worse is to lose an entire collection after years and years of collecting.
