Re: [Chrysler300] Insurance question relating to letter cars

["Michael Reed" <mrreed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've never paid a premium on any of the stick shift cars I've owned (beginning in 1957).

  Merry Christmas club!

  Insurance question for any of the long-time members or anyone who might have
  known an insurance person selling car insurance in the 1960's:

  When did the insurance companies start to charge a premium for a stick shift
  cars vs. an automatic?  My understanding is that in the '60's, it was
  standard practice for the insurance industry to surcharge an owner for
  having a muscle car mated with a manual tranny and NOT charge them if it was
  a factory automatic.  I am trying to find out when this practice started,
  and how long it lasted for.

  Follow up question:  What was the insurance industry's 'official' reasoning
  for this?

  Any ideas?

  Thanks!

  John
