Following up on my previous post about when to keep a special car, I now present this great video called "Time Machine" of a man that found his father's actual car after 70 years. I couldn't help but... <BR><BR>To read the rest of this blog entry from The Jalopy Journal, click here.
Wow, that's really wonderful to see the car ended up being his papa's!! I like the sentiment that his car is "consumed by time" or aged. A really nice way to look at it. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
Wow, what are the odds that it ended up being his dads actual car?!? Thats amazing.. Really cool story.
wow, what an amazing story. What is even more amazing is the reason that they had to leave the car behind.
Anyone else catch the "Chasing Classic Cars" episode about the gentleman who found the AC Ace his Dad raced and sold in the 50's, had it restored and gave it to him?? Love it.
Cool story. But he also proves that all the resources and talent in the world are worthless without passion. I don't know about the car, but he has a lot of soul.
Yep, I saw that one, too. How good it was to return it to his father while he still had time. This was a great story also, and while it didn't get back into his father's hands, it is very obvious the passion he and his brothers had for the car. Passion for the Car.............."It's Universal!"
We don't vary much from country to country.We have the common bond of cars and an appreciation for what others(non-believers)consider to be junk.We are the stewards of automotive history. BTW,I was fascinated with his garage.
awesome story, i have one similar, although not 70yrs long. ive spent countless hours on the net and phone for the last 8 years, looking for the 68 lincoln continental that carried my wife home from the hospital, i found it last week, and convinced the owner he needs to sell it to me
Fantastic! I like that between he and his brothers, they were able to do it all in house. That's really "keeping it in the family".
I own a Model A that my Great Grandpa bought new in '31. It was passed to all my uncles to my father who drove it in high-school and put a flathead in it. Last on the road in 1965. My dad gave it to me when I graduated college. It has been a slow process of getting road worthy and, so it will sit as it when him and my mom dated.
