Always a pleasant surprise to discover your car in a strangers' video

I stumbled upon this one while killing some time on YT today.
It's from our local monthly cruise-in on Memorial Day this year - and I've spoken to this
particular "content creator" before about getting his Mopars correct in his narrative.
Looks like he was listening this time.
(As always, please ignore the large ogre leaning on Fred - I have permission to do so).

Damn that's a good paintjob

On Fred the GTX? Well, it's actually a good "twenty footer" - he just photographs well.
Now, that '57 though - that's a seriously nice paint job up close. Dude told me over $10k in
paint alone on that one.

Yeah... i'll be sticking with my original paint other than the new fenders a chip in $10k of paint would make me lay on the ground and cry )

I hear ya there.
For a little ol' county seat of a town, when the cruise-ins happen, some truly amazing paint jobs on cars show up.
There's some dudes laying down serious coin on some paint around here!

Then, once in a blue moon, something like this shows up out of nowhere:

That's a fully restored 1937 Packard "12" convertible. Worth somewhere in the neighborhood of
a $million. The couple that owns it spoke with us for a moment at the August cruise-in (we were
parked right next to it) and it turns out the fellow is a retired college professor from Austin, TX.
Said the car was in restoration for over a decade. I believe it; it was amazing.
