Gerard, thank you. That was fun.

What are the odds that the man would find a pristine old ragtop for his dad? I think the car was waiting for the old man. Nice story.

Thanks for finding and posting this video of an American family, their friends and town. Hopefully what it captures is not a bygone occurrence. It is beautiful, piquant and painful to watch, because so many in my generation did not partake.

I hope that younger people will be inspired to create a world like this for themselves.

That's what real marriage is about.

A lifetime of family.

Great story. It reminds be of a recent episode of Chasing Classic Cars where the son finds and restores the actual 1955 AC Ace that his dad won races with in the 50's. The best episode of that show ever. Talk about a tearjerker. I've tried to find the video on-line, but no luck. It aired January 22, 2013.
