'Dimtor 'Martin applied for a liability insurance' -policy to a Hartfc^ insurer who issued him the first American policy on Feb. 1, 1898. • • Although the company did not have a lorm that applied to the vehicle, it cho?e a close substi tute, a “team form." The form had been developed just 10 years earlier and was designed to pro tect the owner of a horse.drawn conveyance from damages arts-1 ing out of runways, kicking and j biting. j In .18&8, a motor car owner could purchase a fire insurance! policy, adapted from a building! policy, for his vehicle; but he i was covered only while it was j on his property. ! While the al. tomobile was be- j ing driven, the owner did not' have fiye insurance. | The early aiito wais such a ttaz-1 ard that its very presence was' sufficient to void dovereage of property that it was park^ on ! or near, ^lecia} pewnlsslbh for I the auto was required to main- ' tain the coverage of the other i roperty. First rate manual j Although the first liability In-' surance manual was published in 1898, th'e first manual to provide ; rates for at. itomtlolles as a sepa- raet class was Issued in 13Q1. The manual said that rates for , autos should be double that for teams of h arses in general. The first rates made no distinction as to type of automobile or the geographic loeaion in which it was to be used. SdHOON.BR FORlM A year before Henry Ford be gan turning out the Model A, a Boston ship owner was issued the fir« automobile physical damage polic yin the United States. The ship owner was a good customer of a Boston insurer which issued him a policy on Acne 2, 1902. The contract was written on a schooner form as if I the auto were a vessel sallln.gj upon the land. j •bespife t’h'e fact that th'e word : “automobile” was so now that it , was not Included in Massacjius-. , etts statues, he sate attorney ‘ general upheld the company’s ac tion writing the policy. I F'.31ST MAJOR CLAIM An autoblle accident at the turn of ihU century was more fre- ' quently the res. It of a gasoline , gasoline tax explosion than a j collision between two horseless j ciages. ' j 'Many early mqtormen insured j themlselves against fire loss witj, ■ an ocean marine policy. | The first major claim made on an ccean marine policy written | for an automobile was in 1901. The vice president of an insur ance company was driving from ■Worchester to Boston when his gasoline tax explod^. His own insurance company paid $9,500 for property damage. PR!EMH11.M WAS $5.00 A major insurer introduced a comprehensive policy for cars in I 1904 that based thgrpremfum rate on the size of the engine. The insurer charged its policy holders one Elnlgltsh pound for every unit of horsepower. If rates were that high today, few could afford to drive a vehicle larger than a golf cart. The first automoibile liability policies were written on forms other than those for teams of horses were issued In 1905. Although they were much like the teams policy, they provided ' not only bodily injury liabUity insurance but also accident insur ance on the owner and named chauffeurs. STEJAMER INFORMEID Ilrivers of Stanley steamers had some difficulty finring the right insurance policy to cover their horseless carriages at the turn Of the century. Neither a fire insurance pol icy nor an ocean marine policy covered the peril of an exploding fboUer. They found boiler machinery polities were thb most approp riate; and, for the few years that steamers clanked about on American roads, there was cov erage available. THEFT CXWBRAIOE Ih 1900, the automoibile was hard to start, hard to stop and hard to steal. Tlte first tsivo were mechanical problems that added to the lat ter fact. The early bufo was 4Tio very conspicuous and difficult to fence, making tWeJt a very smau proM^ . iBy 1905, there were 78,000 cars on the road and many were 'being pilfered.^ ’theft coverage wai added that year td d'cean marine jxiUcies on autos wHh a S25 deductlbie or an exciusion for spare tires, tubes .rims and extra equlimient.
