little progress on the repair

Looks like things are looking up Ed. Glad you got some parts so you can get your coupe back on the road.

Lights not working......how about that little connector bar on the inner

left fender where they all join???

[Norm's Coupe]

I reviewed my policy with Hagerty and in the exclusions it does say you cannot use it for work. So if you were a pizza delivery guy or newspaper delivery guy you could not use it for that. Most insurance companies have that exclusion in their personal auto policies. You would have to get a commercial auto policy for that.

What it didn't say is that you cannot drive it to and from work specifically. It does say it is to be used infrequently and for club activities, car shows, etc. Maintenance and test drives are not off limits though.

I have antique plates with the state of IL and it does note in their paperwork you cannot drive the licensed car to work or school. I know people that do though.

I haven't looked at my antique policy lately, or even my regular insurance policy for modern cars. However, all auto insurance policies usually have another clause in them that states: "You are covered as long as the vehicle is being used in a lawful manner." "If you are committing an unlawful act while driving it, it's not covered." Or something to that effect.

Now for the fine line. If you have collector or antique plates like Steve and I do (mine in Wisconsin), those plates are not to be used on a vehicle to drive to and from work. So.....if you drive it to and from work you are breaking the law and can receive a ticket for doing so, if a cop really wants to be a stickler. Again, it's a fine line, but if the insurance company wanted to, they could use that clause to not pay the claim.

Ed, are you sure you were going to work that day and not just out for a test or fun drive?

Bob it could very well be that terminal block at the front. Things aren't in too good of shape up there. Will just have to see what looks broken when the old front clip comes off.

Glad to see you are making progress Ed, hope it comes together as you would like...........Fred

Fred I'd like it to magically come back together in a nice light yellow hue. Don't think thats going to happen quite yet I'll settle for driving her again. I'm sure I'll probably discover a few little missing pieces here and there but at this point I believe the only parts I am missing are the 4 large grill bars. Got sniped on the last set I tried to buy on ebay grrrr.....

Ed I've got a few of the big grille bars and the smaller ones too. PM me if interested.

Nice looking haul. Just let me know if that 49 bumper is in the way. I'll store it, no charge. However, it may get mixed up with my parts and you'd probably not get it back.
