Photographer Surprises Father With Dream Car (1968 Camaro) For Christmas 

We are starting two new RU-vid channels. Soon we will be moving all of our live recordings over to the new "Fstoppers Live" RU-vid channel here: ru-vid.com/show-UCJxlKgtWbX9tKicPEYiRSOwfeatured I am also going to start up my own RU-vid channel where I post stuff that I am interested in that isn't photography related here: ru-vid.com/show-UCCUyEJHX1wLFkkE-ZkfjB6g We'd appreciate you subscribing, and we plan to start releasing new content soon.

He probably knew something important was on when you put the mic on his sweater.

I feel like Dad keeps talking so he doesn't start crying. I love how he goes on and on about it... Soooo sweet.

His friend painted that car with pure love. That is a very special car filled with love.

People who speak the fewest words sometimes, have storms of emotions going inside them. This gesture from his son would've meant more than anything else to him as a father. Kudos to this duo!

you can really tell that he's genuinely excited because of how much he's talking about the car and repeating phrases- my dad is exactly like this, and even though there isn't an abundance of emotion there's still a level of excitement that is evident by the amount of explaining going on

Hahah guys calm down. Alot of men from that generation are this way. I've never seen my dad tear up my entire life. It's the way they were conditioned. He will probably be emotional when everyone leaves.

"the older i get i know how important family is and specially father" Wisely said. Shout out to all the father's around the world who do so much for a family. They are the actual silent guardian.

You know Dad's a real one when he's talking about the RX-7

Uh don’t insult that mans RX-7 picture boy

I honestly expected more....but I then reminded myself that "old school" dads didn't show a lot of emotions...they just hunkered down..... did what they had to do for their families...and worked their asses off.......usually without complaints... I miss those days.............

Lee, you have all my respect and admiration for this that you have done, as a 61 year old father, I can imagine your dad's feelings, he will never forget this.

You know you did something right as a father when your kid buys you a car. Very cool moment to share as a family, lifelong memories.

“It’s my dream car” 2 min later: “I never dreamt that this would happen”

It's disappointing that everyone needs uncontrollable crying to see that something mean a lot to someone. He literally said he's overwhelmed and speechless after getting the car.

Just the fact that a loving son would wish he could make this dream come true would be enough for me. Congrats to this dad and son.

“I need to drive it around the block Drives it around the whole city 😂😂

Are you disrespecting the dorito rotary Jesus rx7

"Now we have to get rid of the RX-7" Holy shit this guy already owns my dream car.

As a former photographer for French hospital I enjoy so much the surprise you did to your dad! Thank you for this very special video. My best regards from Thailand where I retired.

Your dad is such a sweet humble guy. 💜

He doesn’t understand how rare an rx7 is, it’s a blessing to have one 😰

Son: *spends thousands of dollars for dream car to be perfect* Dad: Cool.

Of all the videos about Dad's or Grandpa's getting their dream cars - this is the one I can relate to. My dad would never break out in tears like a lot of them do. He'd be like "Ok, this was not necessary, but OK." but you could tell he'd be completely overwhelmed.

How could someone not like this? I’m all about family. That’s the strength in you. I wish my father was still around to give him his dream truck.

Son: does a beitiful thing for his dad Comments section: how dare you diss the rx7?!?!?!!!!AHHHHH

Sadly my father died a few months ago. He was really into NASCAR. I know if he were alive and healthy that he would've shared in my passion. My mom always told me stories of how he loved his old jeep and how he would always wash it, take the doors off on weekends and cruise around town and how he ordered super rare imported wheels for it. One day I'll build a jeep exactly like the one he had and take the doors off every weekend and cruise around town.

That Camaro turned out lovely! Your dad is a lucky man.

You are the BEST son ever! What an amazing gift for your father!

Me hearing him describe the Rx7 and just waiting for the Rx7 fanboys to go off on him. Loool

I am very jealous of your relationship with your father. You are a great son.

I wish I could’ve done something like this for my dad. He’s gone now, but he we had a great relationship like this and I’m so thankful for that.

Man these vids get me every time...miss my Dad

Hey, you bought me a Camaro...what's for lunch?

He says multiple times in the video,"I'm speechless." He wasn't so excited as his mind was simply blown. He was flabbergasted and that was how he showed his appreciation.Those two words, which meant much more to his son than us were,"I'm speechless."

Made me cry. Great job son, for your dad.

To do this for you dad tells us what a wonderful dad you had.

My dad would've reacted the same way.. Hehe he' just acts like a tough cookie 💕

"Blah blah blah, that reaction was like unbuttered toast!" Well I'm sorry I didn't know that everybody in the world was supposed to react the same way! The man was obviously very appreciative and speechless, but he's not some basic jumping around all over the place. Btw kudos to you for being a kind son

You are the best son a father could have. Your photography is great and the car is beautiful.

You're a wonderful son. You're dad will love that car forever bless him. Good on you for granting him his dream car🙏🏽😊

Just the way he keeps looking at the dashboard and wheel. You can see it then he still can't believe this. He was really happy.

Dude gives his dad a dream car for Christmas. I give my dad a head nod saying what's up for Christmas. I obviously need to step my game up, lol. Cool Video

Bless him , he really didn’t know how to react, you could see that . Some ppl cry but he was in shock , honestly I’m sure a few hours later or maybe even not till the next day it suddenly really hit home , you can see it’s not truly hit him yet . Brilliant

Wow what a friend! What son! Must have been some kind of Dad! Congratulations to you all!! 👍

I wish I had chance to do this for my dad, I’m now in the situation to afford it but he is no longer with us 😢 Love this video what s guy 🙏🏽

Ummmmm I will take your RX-7 sir

I like the way he accepts the gift, his manners and how he can just be happy :)

I had 2 RX7’s in the early 80’s. Loved them very much.

Beautiful beyond words. Not everybody cries, some of us just say thank you and smile.

I don't understand the comments, he seems very happy to get the car and is excited.

This was bad ass no lie , our dads are price less and to make them happy and think of them before us is awesome

This is awesome ! Your father would never forget it...

i love this! hes so happy and cant stop talking!!! what a great son you are!! hes thinking, i raised my boy right.

Lee, you are a wonderful son. I loved it so very much. My wife got me a 1968 SS 396-375, my life time dream. I know how you Dad feels, I am 69 years old.

Great gift for a father from his son. After all, dream is the stuff life is made of,and you fulfilled your dad's dream ! Wow ! Congratulations to both the father and the son !

This is so cool!! What a awesome son to do that for his Dad! My husband just bought me my dream car - a yellow Camaro with black stripes. Still can't believe it's sitting in our carport 😮😁

He seemed as excited as getting a pair of socks,

Im sure he knows his dad enough to know he doesn’t express emotions like we expect. It doesn’t mean he’s not ecstatic about the car.

He can’t stop talking. Saying numerous times “I’m speechless”. Love to see how much he loves his car.

HOW WONDERFUL!!! you did this for your Dad. Both of you are so cute! 🚗

Bruh he called a savanna rx7 crap OMEGALUL

My dad wouldve heard it when it pulled "Hold on... is that a 68' outside?"

Thanks for doing this for your Dad. I am one of many who were with you and your Dad as you photographed this Camaro. We were with you as you journeyed thru. Thank you All of us Dad's also received the gifts in our hearts from you

What a great son you are and congratulations to your dad for getting his dream car!!

"I'm speechless, I don't know what to say." You might want to start with a "thank you, son".

I was expecting tears but ooooookkkkkk🤷‍♂️

Only father to not shed a tear over a dream car presented by his son.

Have you ever been surprised with something after getting a big hint? You start to really doubt yourself because you don’t want to be wrong and then let yourself look ungrateful. And then when it happens, you’re stunned! The dad had such a sweet reaction, he kept talking and looked so happy!

"Well look at that...hey honey where'd you put the ham?"

He couldn't stop saying he was speechless and overwhelmed. That's clearly how he felt. What an incredible gift!! This video is awesome!!!

This is the classic old school reaction. I love it it's just how my Dad was, even myself. To me it's real it's sincere. So much better then the hysterical drama filled emotions. Good job and enjoy that beautiful car.👍

The most genuine reaction. No overboard crying. Just happy. Was walking without the shoes and took it for a drive. God bless you.

Lol so legit his first drive was barefoot😂

You are a great son👍🏻🚘 By giving him what he desires the most... it shows that you are a grateful, loving 🥰 and caring son❣️❣️❣️

I've watched dozens upon dozens of kids gifting their parents vehicles over the years and this is probably one of my most favorite. The time and effort that went into it all was great, the actual story moved along at a good pace - and of course the car looked outstanding. Great job!

Wow! Awesome.....it’s easy to criticise people on their choices but what’s more important this guy did something for his dad that most don’t even think. Proud of you bro, you’re an awesome photographer and and awesome person.

"An avocado.... thanks."

My dad is like this too.. I’ve bought/surprised him with expensive gifts that I knew he would love and he just gets kind of weird and talks/smiles a lot. I’ve never seen him cry. I’m his daughter, so I can tell when he is genuinely happy/thankful and that’s all that matters. I’m sure this is the exact reaction that his son was expecting from his father, lol.

dude...you are one special son... your daddy will never forget that moment...and it will live on with you...

Son: I had to sell my left arm, right leg, my girlfriend, and the house we live in but dad I got you your dream car that you've wanted since high school !! Dad: Aight

Honestly his reaction was REAL. I liked it.

A dad crying is the most emotional thing a son can witness, and it is all so relative in this world. My family went through hard times and my dad was always struggling to make sure we don't realize how difficult we had it. We were so poor that we barely could afford a computer and it took a lot of saving to get a 486 back in the day, with Windows XP and my parents kept using it until recently. My brother and I bought both of my parents a laptop each so they wouldn't fight over the PC. That's when my dad just lost it and cried like I've never seen him before. When we asked him why he's crying he said I struggled all my life so my kids get away from the poverty and I never wanted anything else in return. I'm not crying because of the laptop, but because it finally seems like my struggle is yielding results, for my kids to buy me something they never had when they were growing up and something I couldn't buy them when they needed it is breaking my heart... Now that is real joy. Here, what seems to be a well off family, makes a commercial video of a successful photographer buying his dad a rare and expensive car and the dad is not looking that excited, but the son made sure he advertises his business once more at the end of the video... I don't know, it's all relative, but a 300 dollar laptop in certain situations can be a more emotional and intense gift than a 5-digit price tag car. And I'm sure relativity goes the other way and some dads will cry for even less in material terms, but in emotional terms way way more.

Congrats Lee with your wonderful dream come true experience giving your Dad with his once in a lifetime classic Camaro, nice job. Your painter friend nailed it for your Dad, he got what he love's and will have great fun.

Well, Lee Moris, this is an old clip now, but I can say as a professional filmmaker for 40 years, your production quality hasn't aged. Well done; the kind of son that every good dada should have.

Young Man, God Bless you. Your Mom and Dad definitely did a great job raising you.

What a son..you will remember this moment long after your dad is gone one day...until that day the joy you and his dream car will bring him is immeasurable...Your love and time and effort you went through for this gift shows us all what a great dad you have to raise a son like you!!

So awesome. I wish my Dad would have lived long enough for me to have done something like this for him.

Dad did something right to have a son who actually put thought, time, and money to make him happy. My respect to the son and envy of the Dad. I had a Hugger orange 68 Camaro SS (hard top, no rally stripes) but always dreamed of the RX7. Lol Much love to you all!

As a guy who works in the body shop business I understand the work involved....as a father I understand the love. The tears are flowing.❤️

I am so proud of you,your father must be an amazing man.He raised his son right, thats for sure.The look on his face warmed my heart.And for you to bring his dream to life,let's me know you are a very special young man.Blessings will follow,I assure you.

All you guys cribbing about dad's lack of emotion- imagine how great of a dad he was that his son got him this. It's not about jumping up and down for 3 seconds of internet fame that counts, it's about the decades you put into raising a kid right that makes you a dad. And this dad has done all that and more.

A good loving father deserves the world.. My father doesn't qualify.

Wish I could have given my father his dream car. Big thumbs up!

You are a good son.

God bless you and your family, you are so loving to your dad and its wonderful to see. As a father of a son I know exactly how your dad feels each time driving this car, lucky to have a son like you.

Awesome bro..........I just lost my dad and this makes me emotional. Good son you are. He must be proud AF.

It just makes me feel happy to see how other people get their wishes fulfilled 😌

amazing gift, you inspire others, congrats, every dad should have a son like you. :)

A dream come true for two........................... AMAZING..... SO HAPPY FOR YOU BOTH...... LOVE IS SO POWERFUL...... MANY BLESSINGS..... DAD DRIVE THE HECK OUT OF THAT GORGEOUS CAR YOUR SON MADE COME TRUE....... I CRIED MY EYES OUT BY THE WAY.......................................
