Sure, the P-38 is nice, but who's the lucky bastid driving the black '66 Coronet/Satellite at 0:16? 
I have never seen it at the museum so it must be someone who has a hangar at the airport or an airport pass to get through the gates. I agree that it's a nice car.

I am glad to see that you are enjoying the thread. If you do decide to make the trip to SoCal let me know and maybe we can do a meet and greet.
I volunteer at the PoF museum on Saturdays so you can find me there too.
