Thanks for posting such a great story...kinda humbling when I think how many cars I've gone through and probably got less enjoyment out of.

 

that's amazing. I got my caddy while engaged, and after 6 yrs, she wants me to get rid of it. Not happenin, if I can help it. I hope to pass mine on to my son someday, or maybe just keep on cruisin. Wish me luck.

We should all be so lucky as this old gentleman! Very nice car and one terrific story. Thanks for sharing the story and pics.

Great story, thanks for posting it!! His great-grandson nailed it when he said:

“I’d love to keep on with the tradition of driving the car,” said his great-grandson, Mike Zenisky, 16, of Shelton. “It’s kind of a symbol of the love my great-grandfather and great-grandmother had for each other.”

 

I meet that guy a few years ago, he lives two towns over from me very interesting man. he goes to a lot of the local show around here. his story is a good one. i am glad that I had the opportunity to here it first hand. ........ and thanks zman for the written story

 

Nice Story. Cool that he is still wearing the same clothes all this years....

 

Very Cool!

 

Great read. i just love to see stuff like that.

 

Great story! Thanks for posting that. I love that..."swapped in a Hudson Terraplane engine.....to beat the other guy's cars...."

 

Great story.Thanks for sharing. I have a neighbor who has a 1928 Model A touring that's been in his family since new.It was his grandfathers first car and handed down to his father.
It was ina barn on the property a few years ago when the roof started to collapse. They pulled the car out a few days before the barn fell.
My neighbor has restored it just enough for him and his father to drive it around town and the only items replaced are ones that wore out, like belts and hoses and fuel lines.They did rebuild the lower half a number of years ago but that's it.
You should see the grin on the old guys face when they tool around town in it !!!Priceless.
