state farm, I had to arm wrestle them for it, but they did it, the
problem if I remember well is that it wasn't qualified as a classic.
The reason they agreed, is they had quoted me before I got it and
they moved it to NY on the basis that they would insure it for the
amount quoted. When they realized they made a mistake I held them to
their quote. Also, I have never had any problem with any claims from
them, they viewed the claim and paid on the spot, no questions
asked. But then I have 4 cars, a house and some other insurance
through them for 20 some years... M
