Insurance suggestions for a Beck.....

Howdy all y'alls....just got me  used  1957/2005 Beck Speedster in Merlot/Tan out of PA w/ 19k km on the clock...Taking delivery today in Seattle...got a smoking deal at $23.5k...What's the best outfit to insure it?  Hagerty etc?...I plan to use it sporadically (not daily), but would like to be able to take it for a run on crisp, cold days occasionally...Do they have policies to account for this kind of use or do you have to specify a time period to drive it?  My daily driver is a FUSO FG (poor mans Unimog) and there are only 2 outfits that will  insure that, (Progressive and Liberty Mutual)  so I won't be getting a bundle discount. Inquiries w/ them were the same as a daily driver/modern car @ $900-1000/annually. A few collectors have mentioned that I should be able to get the Beck covered for a mere several hundred per annum.......Thanks for your input.   

New to the forum last year. I ran a VW shop as a kid (circa 1980ish) and am conscientiously making an effort to reduce my fleet of vehicles, leaving only low tech vehicles that I can maintain myself as well as taking advantage of cheaper collector plate licensing fees etc...

Another question I had was how to mount auxiliary lights w/o drilling holes in the bumper/body?...Do those long clamps (for the bumper bracket) work on  a Beck?....And what generally is considered to be period correct (or appearing) driving lights that will actually produce some usable light?  I'd like to have chrome bodies but if I have to, I'll stoop to souping up some plastic Hella 500's....
