I'm really happy about this. What a great thing to be able to experience with my dad. This is from the current Hagerty E-newsletter.

Awesome article on the car, Matt, and especially you and your dad!

It's nice seeing the faces of the members around us and hearing the stories of the cars we see often.

Very cool. One of my buddies had a very similar car. It had a white interior, and had many changes done during the ownership. Metro Detroit, also.

Awesome story Matt. It's obviously an amazing relationship you have with your dad. Helps me remember, you only get one. Also amazing car. Perhaps it can keep moving down through the family.

Thanks guys!
We had nothing to do with putting it together though. I was approached at a small event by someone from Hagerty who put the whole thing together. We just had to show up with a clean car and be ready to talk about it. It was a lot of fun and I'm so happy that I'll be able to look at this every now and then for the rest of my life.

I don't have any kids and won't, never had that urge. I'm just going to enjoy the car until I'm done with it. I've actually thought about selling sooner than later but now I don't think I can, at least not this year. I replaced a couple pieces of trim, outside door handles this spring and have a new top and windshield on order.

And that's really the coolness factor of it, Matt. Building even more memories with your dad about the car. Nothing, but nothing can replace that.

It's priceless, Robert!

I know I'm of the age where I cherish the things that Pop and I do together and sit and look fondly on the things we've done together.

He's coming over the help me put in a new window in the room for our special delivery coming in September. If I need advice or need the hands, he's there. One of the reasons I'm looking forward to getting the new garage built. We spent years restoring cars together. It would be nice to get back to that.

Very, very cool Matt! The whole thing brought a smile to my face! Congratulations!

 

[DetMatt1]

Thanks Alley! Yep, unfortunately our parents get older and mine are now of the age where its mostly now cherishing the good times we've had and less doing things together. I am very thankful to still have them around and they're still together after 56 years, I just love them!

Very jealous of you guys that had/have a good relationship with your father. My father was/is an a$#. Will not even acknowledge his grandkids and great grand kids. (My daughters and their children.) His loss.
