Stability and Specialization
American Modern Insurance Group, based in Amelia, Ohio, underwrites the Heacock Classic Collector Car Insurance program in most states. American Modern is a subsidiary of Munich Re, one of the world’s largest insurance companies. Together, we insure over 40,000 Collector Car clients. Our underwriting and customer service units are dedicated to providing superior service to both you and your customers. We have been providing this coverage for more than 20 years and as auto enthusiasts ourselves, we have an intimate understanding of the Collector Car hobby.
Superior Claims Handling
While our customers have few claims, it can be a traumatic experience for collectible owners when something happens to their “baby”. We like to say, “You Perfect It; We Protect It!” We live up to this pledge by offering the following benefits:
- Our claims staff has expertise in collectible vehicle claims settlements. From access to photos of all cars we insure, to knowledge that special cars need special attention, we strive to have the collectible car fixed right with original parts and materials whenever available, and as quickly as possible.
- We allow your customer to select the repair facility of their choice, provided the labor rate is comparable to other shops in the area.
