81-83- Is it a Chrysler? Imperial? Both?

[James <nyb@xxxxxxx>]

Title:

I believe Arran is right, it depends on your insurance company.  When you
go to register they read the VIN, make and model off your pink slip.  So
it's the insurance company that you need to convince, and that likely depends
on how the car is listed in their "black book" that lists the values of cars
of various years.  If it's listed ass a Chrysler Imperial in there, I doubt
you'll be able to change their point of view.  This is a little off your
question William, but as Arran said, insurance companies unfortunately don't
value old cars at very much.  I was told that sure I could put collision
insurance on my 76 NYB, they would value the car car $500 (I could sell it
for more) and give me a $500 deductible.  Unless you have the car appraised,
and that's another story.
