I don't think it is a rude question considering there does seem to be a lot of attention on the value of antiques/classic cars nowadays... I think for a non car person it helps to have a price tag to put it in perspective for them. I would never spend the money some people do on things like paintings, a rare stamp, comic book, sports trading card, etc...but a dollar sign does help me to see how rare or important it is to someone else. I love the "I don't know, it's my Mom's" response! I have always planned on saying "It cost more than my house...." The sad part is that it is actually true!!!
