Can I garage a car in Connecticut when I live in Brooklyn and still find insurance?

I bought a classic car. But living in Brooklyn, it's not cost-effective to garage or park a car that I only drive on occasion. I want to leave it at a garage in Connecticut with my in-laws. Can I get insurance in this situation?

registered in Connecticut
, you shouldn’t have any problems getting
Connecticut car insurance
to garage it there.
If your car is registered in
