I wish I had the money, time, and expertise to be this finicky. I laughed when he said "paint bubbles", like I didn't have an entire rusted fender on the back of my car.

a nice resto but for me it was a bad choice of exhibit. there are original 'survivor' cars out there which could have undergone conservation, so I'm not sure why they went for this one. the exhibit now has non original parts and areas of filler under the shiny paint, the guy even mentions that it has a history and that was evident by the damage - but then they've literally obliterated all that...

I believe you meant to say "object"
I don't think he called it a car ONCE!
