Dave and that wasn't the most expensive quote I got. The cheapest quote was around $1500 if I remember. The difference between a modern car and antique is that I required a enclosed cab plus further it was a Phaeton and Model A's are taller (windshield) than most modern cars and they can't pack them in like sardines as well. The distance was over 3 thousand miles of driving too....less than a dollar per driven mile. I also didn't want some car over top of my car dripping "stuff" on top of my car. So yes I paid a premium. But it was worth it. Not a scratch. It was a 450 point car. Cheap insurance for peace of mind.
