<CORSA Chapters> CORSA Insurance

[Harry Jensen, CORSA Executive Secretary]

Hello--

CORSA's policy is general comprehensive liability insurance. Everyone is 
covered, including Corvair enthusiasts who are not CORSA members and even 
those who look at your vehicles at malls and shows.

And the coverage **is** automatic; you do not have to request a certificate 
to be covered. If you sign a contract to use a facility, we ask that you 
request a certificate and send in a copy of that contract. Our insurance 
agent will review the contract details which may be problematic for coverage.
