A father and son completed a 7 year restoration of a '53 Chevy and as a surprise gave it back to the father in-law/ grandfather for his 75th birthday. Complete with emotional video via a youtube link.

To read the story and view the video, see the Gallery post "Dad and Son Finished a 53 Truck" in the New Gallery '47 to '55.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
