<!-- /block-inner, /block --> MUSKEGON COUNTY, Mich. (WZZM)- For sale in Muskegon County - one slightly damaged street-rod. Take a look at Steve Anderson's 1927 Ford Model-T street rod. A neighbor's tree split right down the middle in Monday's storms and crushed the car beyond repair. Steve Anderson with Superior Auto Body said, "I seen that and I turned around and I could not even look at that. In fact I am just now looking at it, it's four hours later and I am just now looking at it close." Anderson says he parked the car outside of the garage last night because he was in a hurry. He bought the car in California and just got it ready to cruise in this summer. <LABEL class=views-label-tid>Topics: </LABEL>News
Thats not good ..infact i would be so pissed..ahh shit I know what storm your talking about it came thru here and was pretty rough
Ironic that the 1926-27 T's only had wood in the top bows and some upholstery tac strips, this one has a lot more now.
I think since it was the neighbors's tree, that it's the neighbor who'd better have some good insurance. Mart3406 ======================
As long as the frame isn't bent, it's fixable, although a different body will probably be easier than trying to straighten that out. The last one of these I saw crushed, literally got crushed because it was easy to get to by the scrappers.
And the lesson here is, dont ever be too lazy to take the extra 2 minutes to pull it into the garage... i mean come on...
Thats shit, Id be beside myself if that happened to my baby. On the bright side ya got yourself a shitload of fire wood there!!
neighbors insurance may not cover an "act of god" seen it before when a friend had a neighbors tree fall on his fence, and the neighbors insurance wouldn't pay.
--------------------- It's not really up to the neighbor's insurance company to decide if they want to pay or not. The purpose of any insurance policy is to cover the person who pays the premiums - ie - the policy holder - for liability. If worse comes to worst and the insurance company tries to claim an 'act of god' or some other such nonsense to get out of paying, then the the solution would be to sue the neighbor for the damage caused by his tree. A court might have an entirely different opinion on the role of god in causing the tree to fall on an innocent next-door neighbor's car, than an insurance company that has an obviously vested interest in not paying. With a court judgment for damages against the neighbor, whether or not his insurance wants to pay up or not become moot and a problem not for the victim, but solely one for the policy holder, who can then fight it out with his own insurance company if he wants, to try and recover the cost of the court judgment against him. Whether he recovers anything from his insurance company to cover his losses or not, the court order for him to pay damages to the victim would still stand and be unaffected. Mart3406 ===============
