Paul,
I have been using Progressive Insurance Co off and on over the years. They
did require a photograph last time I checked. The deuce is used in a limited
commercial fasion and I only asked for liability. This may not apply to all,
I'm sure, but my 1968 deuce is insured. The cost: about $800/year.
Regards,
Bjorn
