My Dads 1934 Ford Coupe is back home after 39 years.

Great Story and a Great car!-Glad to see it wasn't changed significantly from when your Pop built it. Gotta be a real walk down memory lane for your folks-Good on you for "staying on the case" and bringing it home.

Cool 'dingle balls' in the back window

 

great story, neat ending ! my dad had to sell his 30 model a coupe to pay for my oldest brother being born, finding it would be impossible but he bought another to replace it and still has it today. thanks for sharin

It was great talking to you ..I really enjoyed the tear jerker story..If there is anything I can do for you or your lucky Dad..I'm just a phone call and an hour away....Kelly

 

Your dad built a very nice hot rod, and he and your mom raised a couple of fine sons.

great story.

 

Unreal, how happy is your father!!!

Those seats are 64 Galaxie xl seats.

 

Sweet car, great story! Its cool that both your parents have history together with it.

...can't wait to see the old pics!

 

That's Great. I went threw the same thing with my Dads car but it wasn't as nice when I found it as your Dads car

 

Good story. Not something that happens often.

 

I enjoy stories like this the most, thanks for sharing.

know the exact feelings. congrats. found my 40 cpe I sold in 1980 sitting in a garage rotting. got it back and it's a great feeling. mine was built in 1972 and will keep it that way.

 

When do we get to see the pic of your dad roasting the tires with your mom riding shotgun ???!!!???

 

Awesome story! Goood job!

 

"bully i say bully"

 

Wow what a moving story!

You done real good mate, real good.

HC.

 

Great story, and a cool thing to do!

 

Good job dude's!

 

Your Dad is very privileged to have two sons who would do this for him! What an inspiring story and keep this thread going!

 

Would have loved to been there when dad looked at mom and grinned!!!!

 

Realy a neat story. And top of that Dad built a sharp car. Looks like he is ready to play with it some more.

 

Fabulous story.....your dad must be so proud of his work.......and his car!

 

Very cool story.

 

I love happy endings.

 

Damn, this is just plain awesome! Not to mention that car is bad ass!!

Congrats on getting it back.

 

fine ride, is your dad thinking of changing anything?

 

Looks like it has a great home to come back to. Do ya have it in a hospital room as clean as it looks there.

 

terrific story and thanks for sharing! "Milner" - don't sell that coupe buddy - you'll regret it!

 

There seem to be more and more of these "Prodigal Son" stories whereby our long lost love affair with an old car returns home again. I think this teaches us all a lesson about us hot rodder and just car guys in general:
Don't sell your car in the first place! You will regret it.
If you are thinking about selling your hot rod, just store it away. the love will come back again,especially if the car is exactly what you want.
Thats my 2¢

 

i really dig it when this kinda stuff happends, 8 years ago this weeked my dads first hot rod came home also. He almost shit himself when i told him "come on... i just bought your old T-bucket back....lets go get it!"

 

Talk about a time capsule!! That is way cool. Awesome job man and looking forward to the drag strip pics.
