If you are covered by a typical insurance policy, you may be paying too much and paying for the wrong kind of coverage. Standard automobile policies may not offer Agreed Value Coverage, so in the event of a loss, you will be offered a settlement amount (Actual Cash Value) less than what it will cost to replace your “pride and joy”. There’s more, standard auto policies don’t always give a price discount for the “care, custody and control” you give your collector automobile. In short, standard auto policies do not reflect an understanding of how fine collector cars are maintained and enjoyed.

However, we at Farris Insurance Agency Inc. can offer you an insurance program that really demonstrates the value and the uniqueness of your vintage or classic car(s). We can give you a better solution by working with experts who are collectors themselves. Grundy Worldwide, Hagerty Insurance and American Collectors, have been insuring these special vehicles for almost 50 years. We provide peace of mind protection to over 4000 car collector individuals and families.

• Coverage for individual cars and collections.

• Agreed Value Coverage.

• High liability limits.

• Unlimited “hobby” mileage.

• $0 deductible, NC has $50 deductibles.

• Prompt, fair claim service.

• Competitively priced.

• Excellent customer service. We have 30+ years writing collectors and collections. It’s

“peace of mind”

Founded in Charleston, SC in 2021 by decorated Marine veteran, small business owner and Corvette-owner and enthusiast, Jason Dores. Dores and wife, Charlotte, along with friend, Jamie Dever and her husband, Jeff, engaged their passion for Corvette cars to fuel their desire to aid veterans in need, and established Vettes for Vets. Now a recognized 501(c)(3).

At Vettes for Vets, we serve veterans in need of home renovation services, community & more. Our mission is to engage Corvette car owners and veteran advocates to unite their passions to aid veterans in need.

BUILDING BACK

Home Renovation Project

We honor our military and military veterans for their service and sacrifices, by annually selecting a veteran in need, and providing new roofing, home repair services/ remodeling, dental and vision care, meals, a cash check, as applicable, all for free.

Annually, our organization

arranges a surprise “knock on the door,” on a day leading up to Veterans Day, to deliver to the deserving veteran, the services/gifts being awarded. The “knock” experience has included the town Mayor, members of City Council, donating vendors, Vettes for Vets members, including Board members, and of course, the person who nominated the awarded veteran, and the veteran’s family

There are dozens of ways for you or your organization to get involved with Vettes For Vets. We welcome any and all support for monetary or non-monetary contributions. Contact our team to see how you can help!

Greg Wyatt Of Vintage Corvettes

Opens New Museum In Summerville

by Rod Worley of Vettes of Atlanta Magazine

Corvette collectors across the country have long known Greg Wyatt and his Vintage Corvettes business.

For over 40 years, he has combined his passion for America’s Sports Car, with a methodical attention to detail to grow an enviable reputation.

For those in the know, Vintage Corvettes is synonymous with top-quality first and second-generation Corvette restorations.

So, it should be no surprise that his newly opened museum at 10601 Commerce Street in Summerville would reflect that same exacting attention to detail.

More than simply a location to buy, sell and restore Corvettes, it is a fully realized museum that’s open to the public.

And oh, what a visual feast it is!

Step back in time to experience an authentic ’50s diner or saunter over to a true-tosize ’50s era Texaco Service Station with rare gas pumps and a service bay to boot.

Everywhere you turn, authentic period-correct memorabilia bring back memories of a simpler time. There’s even a rare 1925 airplane flying from the ceiling.

And, of course, if a pristine Corvette or classic car catches your eye, Greg’s sales office is mere steps away. We appreciate Greg taking the time to show us around his museum and sharing his 40 years’ worth of insights into

early-generation Corvettes.

Rod Worley – Everywhere you turn, your museum has incredible attention to detail. I can only imagine the long hours of planning and work that went into this finished product. So, have you always called Somerville home, and what went into renovating this building?

Greg Wyatt – Vintage Corvettes – I was born and raised here in Summerville, just right up the street from this building. When I was growing up, I used to ride my bicycle over here to look at he cars.

When I first started restoring Corvettes, I used to buy my parts out of here when it was a Chevy dealership.

And I’ve always loved this building, from its vintage architecture to the parking lots on the side. I just never dreamed it would be mine someday.

Rod Worley – Editor – I visited your other location years ago. That was an impressive facility in several ways. So why move, and open this museum?

Greg Wyatt – Vintage Corvettes – The other location wasn’t a general public museum. It was on the same property as my house and served as my shop and a place to house the cars I had in stock.

A good portion of the memorabilia you see here has been

in my collection for 30 to 40 years. Glad I didn’t have to go out to buy them today because they’ve appreciated right along with the cars.

Initial impressions, in this case, are spot-on. This museum should be on your shortlist for road trips this year.

Though we recommend you free up some space in your garage before you go.

Just in case you’re tempted to bring something home.
