Yes Jonathon, I suggested that and can appreciate you relaying '59 S&S.
The intent of suggestion was more to relay a smokin' deal (no pun intended) on a similar coach not advertised anywhere or selflessly turn over a fantastic find to someone who really deserves a break in Vera. Had that '59 S& been stumbled across in a garage for 1/3 the price, that's the sort that would help truly make someone smile after going through such a devastating event.
And for those that have not yet seen...

Persephone; 1964 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Endloader Combination Coach.<3
Wanted: 1964 MM Landau irons... Or Restorable driver's side at the very least at the moment!
Thank you.
Thanks, Atti, everyone. I really appreciate it. We are beyond lucky that we lost so little compared to others. I'm truly grateful. I'm trying to not be so devastated because we are alive and still have a home. On the other hand I 'm having a hard time losing what we did. More furious with myself because a couple days before I almost moved her out of the garage but decided against it because of the possible hail storms coming up... and ironically thought that my garage would protect her. Apparently the tarp covering the part that couldn't fit in the garage was flame retardant and that seemed to have helped the condition on the back end's exterior.
Nothing in the garage was running.. they were all active projects. The '64 was damned close.. My daily until she blew a head gasket that cracked the block. We insured her recently when we thought she'd be up and running, but Eddie let it expire when the problem turned out being worse than it was, so nothing was insured.. and the insurance company we have the homeowner's through is trying to refuse ANYTHING car related as they are saying they are not considered "hobby property." Almost everything in there was vehicle related... tools, spare parts a few 50's - 60's, and one 80's motor, several transmissions, motorcycle, scooter.. etc. We can't clean anything up until an inspector comes out so I won't have an idea of how bad everything is..nothing looks good. Hearse_Guy, I'd KILL for that, if timing was better.. my god. Since we are fighting them on everything I doubt I'd be able to afford to get that. if only. Seriously. <3. Thank you, though.

It shouldn't make a difference if the tools were used for a hobby or not. Its normal for a generic home owner's policy to deny "collectibles" unless you have a policy written to include them but tools are something most homes have for maintaining the grounds, buildings, cars, lawn care equipment, etc.
Just make sure that if they do cut you any check for less than the amount of your policy, that they include a letter specifying what the check is for so they don't try to pretend that the check was to settle the claim. Some insurance companies will intentionally try to screw people this way. They can write as many checks as they want, so they could write one immediately just to cover the stuff that everyone agrees on to get them out of the way & deal with the rest later.Last edited by sgath92; 06-04-2013, 07:25 AM.

When my girl is going to be parked for a while I pay something like $8 a month for storage insurance. Any specialty glass ever breaks I'll be glad for it. My luck, I'll never need it until I decide I don't need it. It's sad so many awesome machines were destroyed.

Vera, My condolences for the loss of your car, I Just read your notes about the insurance company, having just bought a homeowners policy mostly to protect my car stuff, (the Garage isn't worth anything), your post makes me wonder if I have purchased the same company as U have? would be just my luck, I always seem to find the wrong people to deal with, I wonder if U could share the name of the company; not the broker but the insurance company and the upshot for your story?
