Frankie the fink article
There’s a nice article in my corvette museum magazine today that Frankie wrote about his unfortunate accident in his 63. Nice job Frank.

Really... he was your adjuster and also owned a SW?!? Well can't get much better than that!
So he hit you!?! In the front end like that? Not bad enough for a head-on... so???
Cool article Frankie. I had the same NCM experience but vastly less damage when we punted a doe. I'll bet that was a pretty big NCM check.
To read double click and zoom... miss some words in the glare get the highlights.

Nice article in reference to a bad incident Frankie!
While in Bowling Green a few months ago, I met Adam Boca and a few of the other adjusters there.
All were very nice people and definitely a first class business.
If I'm correct, they write for American Modern, who also handled my claim.
As unfortunate as it was, I couldn't have asked for a better response!
Again, nice article Frankie!

Glad to hear it worked out Great for you Frankie. I too have NCM Insurance on my three Corvettes. Now I know when I'm out and about, in any one of my cars, I can drive cautiously and comfortably knowing NCM is behind me all the way.

Full story??? What full story?
Some of us want to know how this happened. Was it the fault of the drum brakes, or did the Pertronix fail in the middle of a crowded intersection? There's much more here we're not being told.
We need to hear the ...rest of the story!!!

Frank,
I'm glad you are OK, were these people without any insurance "New Americans"
I assume they got locked up, correct? After all it's against the law, right? Or is there a double standard there also..

did the other driver cross into your lane for a head on collision? Or did he intentionally back into you? If its the latter, how is NCM handling that?

I actually heard it had something to do with an upcoming episode of OVERHAULIN, that went terribly wrong when they tried to steal the car from the FantomWorks shop after Dan had a meltdown over finding rust in the floorpans... (you get the idea...)
