Innovative Agreement Builds Club Auto Brand Nationally
TACOMA, WA (December 18, 2009)– Building on their successful involvement with LeMay - AMERICA'S CAR MUSEUM, Hagerty Insurance has assumed the role of the Museum’s Official Collector Car Insurance Provider. As part of this move Hagerty has committed to a multiple year deal to become the national sponsor of LeMay’s Club Auto museum satellites. In this capacity Hagerty will bring their finely-tuned understanding of the collector car community and their valuable services to enhance the Club Auto experience.
Club Auto helps extend the reach of LeMay to venues far beyond the main Museum campus. The support provided by Hagerty will promote the expansion in the number of established clubs from the current two locations to include select locations nationwide.
Both the Kirkland, Washington and Colorado Club Auto facilities provide members with collector car storage, as well as a great place to relax, meet and socialize with like-minded enthusiasts, forge friendships and share adventures—at the club and on the road behind the wheel.
“This is a natural evolution in our relationship with the LeMay Museum,” stated McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty Insurance. “We are a big believer in the Club Auto concept and feel Hagerty is well positioned to enrich the membership experience.”
David L. Madeira LeMay’s President/CEO characterized the importance of the relationship stating, “Our Club Auto enterprise is an important part of our effort to build a community of like-minded enthusiasts nation wide. McKeel Hagerty and his team share the same vision of service to the collector community. Hagerty’s excellent reputation, expertise, enthusiast network and passion for the automobile, make Hagerty a perfect partner for us”.
Target markets for future expansion of the Club Auto currently include, Tacoma WA, Scottsdale AZ, Las Vegas NV, Kansas City, metropolitan New York and the San Francisco Bay area.
