I got water in my eyes too. To think that he remembered that car so well that when he started it up he said, &quot;somebody changed the mufflers&quot;. Now that is a memory!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

Thanks for posting, Rita! I saw the commercial on TV the other day....it was an edited (much shorter) version of that video, but even it was very moving. What a great story to celebrate Chevrolet's 100th anniversary.

I think this is such a touching story to so many people because I would bet that EVERY American(car enthusiasts or not!) has memories of riding with their father in their father's _ _ _ _ _ (fill in the blank). It would be neat to have your father drive you on a particularly familiar route while the grandson is also in the car. Having three generations in a great old 4-wheel'ed family friend of a Chevrolet would just be an emotional sensory overload!
