I-VAN Appraiser
Are you tired of so-called “expert appraisers” who don’t really know anything about the automotive hobby and even less about YOUR car?
Jack Anderson brings to his appraisals a comprehensive background in the automotive hobby AND his career. Jack has restored and/or owned several National Award-winning Chevrolet cars and is currently the National Judges Training Coordinator for the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America (VCCA). In his career, Jack began in the insurance industry upon graduation from college soon supervised a high volume auto physical damage claims unit. In 1985 he earned the Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) professional insurance designation.
As a hobbyist, Jack has owned a number of restored and excellent unrestored Chevrolets, including his first hobby car, a 1957 Chevrolet, purchased in 1974 while in college. Since then, he has owned many fine Chevrolets: a 1937 Chevrolet Master Deluxe with 4,700 original miles, a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air with 34,000 original miles, a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air with 14,000 original miles, a 1962 Chevrolet Impala with 20,000 original miles, a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette convertible with 71,000 original miles and a 1968 Chevrolet Chevelle SS-396 Sport Coupe, which won various awards within the VCCA. Jack has even owned five early Mustangs, including 1965 and 1966 convertibles.
While he no longer owns these cars, his current stable includes award winning examples. His 1941 Chevrolet Special Deluxe is now in Preservation status within the VCCA. His 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air is a National Award-winner in the VCCA and the Bowtie Chevys/Late Great Chevys/YesterYear Chevys Association.
Jack began his judging career back in 1980 when he helped form the New Jersey chapter (“Garden State Classics”) of the Classic Chevy Club International (CCCI). A few years later (1983), Jack started judging within the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America (VCCA) as a Team Judge but quickly moved up the ranks as Team Captain, Deputy Chief Judge, Assistant Chief Judge and then Chief Judge at the 2001 VCCA National Atlantic Central Meet. He was appointed to the VCCA National Judging Committee and created the VCCA's National Judging School curriculum before becoming VCCA’s National Judges Training Coordinator. Jack is currently presenting the VCCA Judging School all across the country. He has also judged nationally within the Bow Tie Chevys/Late Great Chevys/YesterYear Chevys Association and the CCCI.
Even though Jack’s primary experience has been Chevrolet-related, he DOES know how to spell
F-O-R-D, M-O-P-A-R, F-O-R-E-I-G-N, and S-T-R-E-E-T-R-O-D, having appraised a number of these vehicles throughout the years.
Jack is an accomplished public speaker and is available to speak on “Insurance and Appraisals” to car clubs and other organizations.
Jack knows the hobby and he knows cars.
