    Back in 60 my dad owned this copper 57.

    With a new baby on the way, he decided to sell it off for something a little more family friendly.

    Today he pulled into my driveway with this:

    Great car and congrats to Dad for getting his baby back.
     
  3. That is excellent!! Good for your dad.

    My dad's first car was a Gypsy Red/Shoreline Beige '55 Chevy 2 drht that he bought in 1963 for $800. He didn't have it long and always wanted another one. I bought one just like it in 2002 and shared it with him before he passed away, that meant a lot to him :)

    Think 42 is too old to be asking your dad for the car keys? I'm thinking I might try :D
