The reaction he has. "That's my Chevy" that's what's car companies are missing today. A car isn't just wheels and an engine to get you around. It's something that it represents. The fun the excitement the thrill and family that you build in that car. This what we need to go back to. Building something that transcends the years and takes you back to a moment of happiness
Yes. You are so correct! A car IS more than just wheels (and onboard computers these days). I drive a 2010 Chevy van. I like it and it serves me well. But I also drive a 2004 Suzuki Jimny. It’s a little 4x4. Just driving it to the grocery store puts a GIANT smile on my face! Just looking at it reminds you of all the “stuff” my wife and I have done in it (get your minds out of the gutter. The Jimny is too small for that if your 60+). It’s also easy to service for a DIY guy. I wish cars could be like this again. Chevy is coming up with great commercials. Now they need to build a product that matches the marketing.
Absolutely. In the 60's Bill Mitchell managed to wean the public away from that box-on-a-box look that was so typical of many cars then and more toward a one-piece, smooth look like the 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado. When my uncle got his '65 Impala (SS 327) it was like nothing else I'd seen!
Starting in 1959, Mitchell’s Chevy design team punched the wheelbase out to 119 inches and designed the big Impalas, each unique up until the mid-70’s, with near-perfect power trains for their size, comfortable interiors, and each one seemingly more stylish and advanced than the previous one. These are American classics. I’m looking at ‘61 bubble tops for purchase at the moment.
Bill Mitchell styled some of the best looking cars ever, even in the heart of the smog era he was styling bangers like the '73 Monte Carlo or the clamshell wagons.
I had a 1965 Impala when I was 17. Traded it off, regretted it for years. For my 25 wedding anniversary my wife surprised me with a 1965 Impala SS. They are both KEEPERS. LOL
My dad traded in his 1963 square back Galaxie Custom R-Code 427 dual quad, 4- speed, 4:11 rear gear, black with red interior for a 4-door 62 Pontiac and twin boys in August 1964. My dad was my hero and always will be. His family was more important. Of all the 1963 / 1963-1/2 Galaxie's built with 427 dual quad engines, his Custom trim level was the lowest production number built with that option. Would have been worth over $150,000 grand. Miss you dad.
Agreed to that brother. Don't matter what you grew up on it's what connected with your family the most. I grew up Chevrolet and it hit hard with my family with great memories and for the rest of my life it's all I can own towards respect to GM for giving me, my dad, and my grandfather great memories. I'm not a ford guy nor dodge but out of respect towards anyones upbringings, It's good to see a family and person stay loyal to a brand that took care of them. Long live American trucks, they all mean something to us deep down. Respect brother
I just saw this video for the first time, and after seeing the memories of this car and family, I am so awestruck to see it returned to its rightful owner. LONG LIVE CHEVROLET! !!
The first car of our marriage was a 1965 Impala, White with light blue interior. Not the SS but I still think it was the best looking Chevy ever. We loaded up the car the day after the wedding and drove to my first duty station 1200 mikes away. I couldn’t hang on to the car but managed to hang on to my wife for 54 yrs
As a Chevy guy now, my brother and I have been on a search our Dad’s old 71 Mopar. We grew up hearing stories of that car, but despite the old mans best efforts, we became Bow tie guys. But for his 60th birthday, I’d give anything if I could find, buy, and give my old man his old Charger back as a thank you for being such a great dad, and for making me a car guy. Chevy does run deep, and being a car guy runs even deeper. I cry every time I watch this.
We did the same thing with my father in law 55 Belair it was teal and white he loved that car but had to sell it. We found it restored it and gave it him along with a 55 convertible for his wife. It was amazing.
I have seen this numerous times, but I still sometimes have tears rolling down my cheeks when I watch it. This represents much more than just the car. It represents family, love , caring and of course that 65 Chevy. Bravo
That's not just a car, that is a Monumental dream. 65 SS 396, what an absolutely well-built machine just perfect. Just one question, how many years did it take you to get the smile off your Dad's face ? I'm pretty sure it's permanent. You guys are sure some great kids, I'm really grateful I saw this video excellent excellent excellent thank you.
Love these commercials, including the new one with the 1966 Impala SS! Back in the late 70s my father and I began a Chevrolet odyssey by cutting our restoration teeth on a 1954 Chevy Bel-Air. Problem was, it wouldn't start easily after it warmed up! I told Dad I couldn't rely on that car for my day-to-day needs. He tracked down a car for me within our extended family...a 1965 Impala convertible! Loved that car! Unfortunately it was stolen just before my senior year at LSU. When I retired in 2019, I found a '65 SS Impala here in Cheyenne. It's sitting in my garage now. Godspeed all!
One of the reasons why I love seeing old cars is that it reminds me of the time period in which it was made. Those were cleaner, simpler times. Was touching seeing dad's expression.
Awesome commercial. And I always find it funny with people who instantly put their hands over their chest like they're having a heart attack, when they feel absolutely nothing. It's just a reaction we've come to embrace. Hooray for Dad! Glad you got your ride back. It's NOT "just a car".
Chevy runs deep, it is the only car I have ever owned or driven that always felt like an extension of me, and no other car can get my heart pounding and bring a smile to my face. Just like the commercial, you never forget your first or your last Chevy !
I have seen some comments where other people have posted this video saying it’s just a commercial. I’m don’t care. This is my FAVORITE YOU TUBE VIDEO EVER. I couldn’t even tell you how many times I have watched it. The way the dad reacts.....if that doesn’t get to ya, friend, you have no soul. I needed a pick me up this morning, my favorite cousin is dying from COVID. His dad and my dad were twins. I just needed something for my heart this morning and this was it.
This is so awesome! My dad had a beautiful maroon 65 Impala convertible. I got my license with it. I've been a Chevy guy ever since, including 3 Camaro SSs. Oh the memories!
That is why a lot of people around the world ( especially here in Brazil ) love The Big Tree automakers.....cars that mean love, passion, family and a lot of good feelings. Long life to The Big Tree 🙏
I drive a 1996 Chevy Caprice. She is my Baby Girl. I will love her until I die. The cars of old have a spirit. You feel it everytime you get in. Love this story.
I cry watching this. Cars are so much more than just transportation and metal. I was blessed to have my 2009 Mustang reappear in my life after 11 years. It’s not going anywhere this time.
Today is June 23, 2024, I'm an old guy now...but I'm blessed, I've been with my Beautiful Wife for 40 years and have 3 Chevys, 2009 C6, '04 Silverado and a 1968 C10...I have health issues now but maybe things will get better...Don't tell anybody, a did shed a tear.
When we were kids my dad had an impala too! I remember those tailights and remembered how big the car was! Geez.. this bought back memories (and some tears too). ❤️💯
A couple days ago I just bought a 92 blazer and all the memories just flooded me when I got in it. My older half brothers’ step dad had a 93 gmc RCSB they drove. It was a 5 speed and 4x4. Just sitting behind the wheel of my blazer I instantly go back to my childhood. You just don’t get the same connection with newer cars. I never want anything new. I traded it for a 2010 escape with way less problems than this blazer and I still don’t regret it one bit.
My dad had an old truck that he loved and owned since new, he passed away in 2012 and my step mom sold the truck. I've been looking for that truck since he passed. I want that truck, me and my dad rode all over the place in that truck. I love that truck, it's one of the last things I can have to remember my dad other than memories. I hope I can get it before it gets too far from my reach.
1966, I was 13 years old, and everything was beautiful. Mom and Dad traded their 1957 Bel Air, for a 1965 Caprice 😅. We went from Texas to California, visited family. Fantastic trip, Dad fell asleep, Mom went FAST! Dad woke up for gas stops. People asked "what engine do you have in that Chevy?" Dad looked at Mom, Mom Shrugged her shoulders. 😮
Great story! My father bought a 1966 Impala SS brand new just months before I was born. The story goes that my mother was not happy that he did that. I never thought too much about that car until I was older and realized the significance of it. I haven't searched it out and purchased it back but your story is inspiring......maybe someday.
Great story. It hits home for me. Our 'family car' was a white '65 Impala and then a '67 white (w/black vinyl top) Impala. Like this story, as kids. my brother and I proudly rode in the back seat of those incredible cars. To us, it felt like having a sports car, but big enough to fit the whole family inside.
It's incredible how you can get so attached to an inanimate object but I seem to have a knack for it. I have 2 vehicles that I have had for over 30 years and I will most likely have them until I die. They both just happen to be a 64 C30 tow truck and a 1978 Malibu. God Bless all us motoheads.
Amazing!! Loved it, so cool! So many times I've wondered and tried to get my first new factory hot rod back and time is running out. So beautiful to see this family's success. Loved it.
Great story. Impossible to truly appreciate this story unless you've owned and lost a Classic car. Part of your heart leaves when the car is gone. I cannot imagine a greater gift to give your Dad. My Father finally replaced a 1951 Mercury that had been totaled in an accident 40 years prior. He would just beam every time he got around that car. I guess it was his own little time machine..
I think that this is the "Number One" on CZcams! I found it a couple of years ago, and i still keep coming back every now and then... One wonderful family, and it felt sooo good inside to watch it😍. Last year I was surprised with a Saab 900 S -90 for Christmas from my twin sons, and it's a beauty to.
Got be damn almost CRYING. They love daddy forreal. That's a dream AUTOMOBILE. That car prolly worth 100k easy . That car is they big brother. Its part of the family.
This video has inspired me to begin looking for my dad’s ‘66 Caprice. It is the exact color of this Impala, which brought tears to my eyes when it rolled up to the house. Sadly, he passed away when I was young, but it would mean so much to my mom to drive it again. She had to sell it because she couldn’t afford to keep 2 cars.
My dad's dream was an Olds Rocket Motor powered car - he achieved THAT just before he passed away (at 31). My uncles were a BIG influence growing up (they owned a Carpet Installation Business during *probably* the best times for that business). Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge is credited with starting the "Van Craze" - my Uncle's did ALL the work for *THAT*. They were both heavy Mopar enthusiasts: Uncle Ronnie bought a '70 Challenger RT/SE 426 Hemi (for his wife to drive) - yeah, right. Uncle Paul had a '69 Super Bee with the 440 6-pack, then traded that in for the '72 Demon GSS (340 ci Paxton Super Charged) monster (Norm warned him that they wanted to only do automatics, but my uncle insisted on having a 4 speed). I've listened to when my uncles and their friends would get together, and eventually, it'd get around to cars that they'd wished they'd kept. I listened - never get rid of a car you have an emotional attachment to. I still have my '65 GTO Convertible from High School - my 1st Love.
One of my Uncles on my dad's side (he married one of my Dad's sisters), sold insurance in the small town they grew up in, always had cars that I was impressed with (even as a youngster). Uncle Ed (because of the 6 or so kids he had), bought Station Wagons - with the BIGEST MOTORS OFFERED - 427, then 455 (I don't think my cousins realized it until I pointed it out.
Beautiful story. What a happy moment in his life to see his Chevy again. My dad had the very same make and model, and year. It was midnight blue with white leather interior. Back in those days there was a sense of pride in ownership. Cars back then had their own identity. So different from each other. They had character. You could identify each make and model as they rolled down the street. Not so anymore. They all look like they come off the same assembly line. Hard to identify until you see the badge. Shame. Love the video. Brought back memories of my own. At least I had a chance to drive dad's car when I got my license. Oh, the rumble! Now kids put on those fart mufflers. 🙄😂
I understand this all too well. I just handed over my title to my 2007 Porsche Cayman. Mr. Frank, I know the young lady will take care of it as I have. It's about passing the love for your ride on to the right person at the right time as well.
The reaction he has. "That's my Chevy" that's what's car companies are missing today. A car isn't just wheels and an engine to get you around. It's something that it represents. The fun the excitement the thrill and family that you build in that car. This what we need to go back to. Building something that transcends the years and takes you back to a moment of happiness
True. Stuff built today looks like everything else - like it's punched out of a cookie cutter.
You couldn’t have said it better! Cars used to have individual personalities.
Yes. You are so correct! A car IS more than just wheels (and onboard computers these days). I drive a 2010 Chevy van. I like it and it serves me well. But I also drive a 2004 Suzuki Jimny. It’s a little 4x4. Just driving it to the grocery store puts a GIANT smile on my face! Just looking at it reminds you of all the “stuff” my wife and I have done in it (get your minds out of the gutter. The Jimny is too small for that if your 60+). It’s also easy to service for a DIY guy. I wish cars could be like this again. Chevy is coming up with great commercials. Now they need to build a product that matches the marketing.
Agreed, these new things all look the same.
Getting your exact car back was a miracle.
Few people know how much of a styling genius GM Design Chief Bill Mitchell was. These were gems!
Absolutely. In the 60's Bill Mitchell managed to wean the public away from that box-on-a-box look that was so typical of many cars then and more toward a one-piece, smooth look like the 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado. When my uncle got his '65 Impala (SS 327) it was like nothing else I'd seen!

My dad was my hero and always will be.
His family was more important.
Of all the 1963 / 1963-1/2 Galaxie's built with 427 dual quad engines, his Custom trim level was the lowest production number built with that option.
Would have been worth over $150,000 grand.
Miss you dad.
When it comes to old American Muscle..wither your a Ford, Chevy or Dodge guy no matter who you are we all would drive any of them over new vehicles
My Damn Channel this is so true. I just bought my first classic! 1969 Lincoln Mark-III and I gotta say, it's amazing!!
My Damn Channel. Amen to that.... I am 71 and I wish that I held onto the classic muscle cars I owned during the 1960's.
Except for a Yugo... never a Yugo
Agreed to that brother. Don't matter what you grew up on it's what connected with your family the most. I grew up Chevrolet and it hit hard with my family with great memories and for the rest of my life it's all I can own towards respect to GM for giving me, my dad, and my grandfather great memories.

Long live American trucks, they all mean something to us deep down. Respect brother
But never a Yugo
Best comment " It's not just a car". It was a special time growing up with muscle cars.
These boys were brought up well. ♥
I know this is 10 years old and probably nobody even read this comment but it's a great literally brought tears to my eyes
I get goosebumps every time I watch this. Only a true lover of cars would understand.
Actually made me cry a little! Chevy does run deep!
All the down to my great grandfather we’ve always had chevy trucks and that’s a special thing. If that ain’t true American than idk what is
@@user-xg3oc2uu4g I'm a f150 man always have been to each as own
I just saw this video for the first time, and after seeing the memories of this car and family, I am so awestruck to see it returned to its rightful owner. LONG LIVE CHEVROLET! !!
Wherever this family is today, I’d like them to know that I still watch this video and tear up every time.
This video made me cry. And I’m a Grown man, love the sons passion for his dad old passion
The first car of our marriage was a 1965 Impala, White with light blue interior. Not the SS but I still think it was the best looking Chevy ever. We loaded up the car the day after the wedding and drove to my first duty station 1200 mikes away. I couldn’t hang on to the car but managed to hang on to my wife for 54 yrs
Wrong choice (just kidding)
What a great story! My first car was a 65 impala that my dad bought new. Danube blue. Loved that car....
I cried!! I had a 65 chevy super sport for many years ! Most memorable car of my life! Great kids ! Merry Christmas ! God Bless !
More than a car, it brings back memories and feeling , so very true. Chevy runs deep.
As a Chevy guy now, my brother and I have been on a search our Dad’s old 71 Mopar. We grew up hearing stories of that car, but despite the old mans best efforts, we became Bow tie guys.

You should contact mark from graveyard cars. He can probably tell you where all the old Mopar are.
I fall in love with the 65 Impala EVERY time I watch this. Born Chevy, live Chevy die Chevy!!!
Old GM / Fisher / Delco / Rochester through and through !
DIEHARDCHEVY
Hell yeah
We did the same thing with my father in law 55 Belair it was teal and white he loved that car but had to sell it. We found it restored it and gave it him along with a 55 convertible for his wife. It was amazing.
Righteous !
Brings back old memories my dad had a 65 ss white with black roof and red interior my favorite car
Wow, one of, if not the best car commercial I've ever seen. It's definitely a tearjerker! Merry Christmas everyone! ✝️😌♥️🎄
family is a blessing... respect ur elders.. love your youngers... that is all life is about...
Great story mate. I gave my son my 65 Sport Sedan for his 21st Birthday. He luved it.
I have seen this numerous times, but I still sometimes have tears rolling down my cheeks when I watch it. This represents much more than just the car. It represents family, love , caring and of course that 65 Chevy. Bravo
Same, it is an advert that does what many adverts should do. More than just an advert, it is an emotional story.
That's not just a car, that is a Monumental dream.
65 SS 396, what an absolutely well-built machine just perfect.
Just one question, how many years did it take you to get the smile off your Dad's face ? I'm pretty sure it's permanent.
You guys are sure some great kids, I'm really grateful I saw this video excellent excellent excellent thank you.
You forgot 4-speed in that description.
Nice car, nice story.
Probably actually killed him man
I am so blessed , i found this on Christmas day!
Love these commercials, including the new one with the 1966 Impala SS! Back in the late 70s my father and I began a Chevrolet odyssey by cutting our restoration teeth on a 1954 Chevy Bel-Air.

One of the reasons why I love seeing old cars is that it reminds me of the time period in which it was made. Those were cleaner, simpler times.
Was touching seeing dad's expression.
Awesome commercial.
And I always find it funny with people who instantly put their hands over their chest like they're having a heart attack, when they feel absolutely nothing. It's just a reaction we've come to embrace.
Hooray for Dad! Glad you got your ride back.
It's NOT "just a car".
My Grandma had a 67 with a 283 powerglide some memories for sure
Chevy runs deep, it is the only car I have ever owned or driven that always felt like an extension of me, and no other car can get my heart pounding and bring a smile to my face. Just like the commercial, you never forget your first or your last Chevy !
My next car will be a 1973 Monte Carlo with swivel seats, and I'll be damned if I ever sell it once I get my hands on one.
This is what all car guys dream of. His kids made his dads dream come true.
I’m happy for them 😊
None toyota or honda never will have a beautiful history like that, it's a fact.
Wow...that brough back a flood of Memories with tears...
I have seen some comments where other people have posted this video saying it’s just a commercial. I’m don’t care. This is my FAVORITE YOU TUBE VIDEO EVER. I couldn’t even tell you how many times I have watched it. The way the dad reacts.....if that doesn’t get to ya, friend, you have no soul. I needed a pick me up this morning, my favorite cousin is dying from COVID. His dad and my dad were twins. I just needed something for my heart this morning and this was it.
Awsome and heartwarming I to have a 1965 impala that my son gave to me how blessed we are
Congrats on your personal successes in life to be able to do this. Great story.
My dad also bought a 1965 Impala SS 2 dr hardtop i inherited it 10 yrs ago and still have it
This is so awesome! My dad had a beautiful maroon 65 Impala convertible. I got my license with it. I've been a Chevy guy ever since, including 3 Camaro SSs. Oh the memories!
That is why a lot of people around the world ( especially here in Brazil ) love The Big Tree automakers.....cars that mean love, passion, family and a lot of good feelings. Long life to The Big Tree 🙏
Best Commercial Ever!
I cried like a baby when I watched it!
Chevy! The best brand on the road!!! Then and now!
I drive a 1996 Chevy Caprice. She is my Baby Girl. I will love her until I die. The cars of old have a spirit. You feel it everytime you get in. Love this story.
I cry watching this. Cars are so much more than just transportation and metal. I was blessed to have my 2009 Mustang reappear in my life after 11 years. It’s not going anywhere this time.
Today is June 23, 2024, I'm an old guy now...but I'm blessed, I've been with my Beautiful Wife for 40 years and have 3 Chevys, 2009 C6, '04 Silverado and a 1968 C10...I have health issues now but maybe things will get better...Don't tell anybody, a did shed a tear.
Wow God bless this beautiful family.
American muscle. Nothing better
It's also french muscle
You have the best family ever. I am currently restoring my red 1968 Chevelle so my son can have it before I kick the bucket some day.
This is the best. Commercial I have ever seen it is really touchy. Cool everything
The cars they make today will never draw this kind of love, also todays cars will not live as long as these classics.
Chevy made awesome vehicles back in the day I have a 93 suburban with just over 800,000km on her still purrs like a kitten
I think this is about as cool a story as I've ever seen on CZcams. Congratulations on making your father very happy.
Like a Rock!
I am missing my 1970 SS Chevelle. It was Red with Black Racing Stripes.
What memories.
So nice you found his car!
Old Chevy's Never Die!
When we were kids my dad had an impala too! I remember those tailights and remembered how big the car was! Geez.. this bought back memories (and some tears too). ❤️💯
My dad was a Chevy guy, but didn't hesitate to give his Mopar love either. This inspired me to go find his old Charger..
A couple days ago I just bought a 92 blazer and all the memories just flooded me when I got in it. My older half brothers’ step dad had a 93 gmc RCSB they drove. It was a 5 speed and 4x4. Just sitting behind the wheel of my blazer I instantly go back to my childhood. You just don’t get the same connection with newer cars. I never want anything new. I traded it for a 2010 escape with way less problems than this blazer and I still don’t regret it one bit.
Brings tears to one's eye's. Well done!👍👍
This is why Chevy is awesome, they should not get discontinued, keep being active Chevrolet
My dad had an old truck that he loved and owned since new, he passed away in 2012 and my step mom sold the truck. I've been looking for that truck since he passed. I want that truck, me and my dad rode all over the place in that truck. I love that truck, it's one of the last things I can have to remember my dad other than memories. I hope I can get it before it gets too far from my reach.
Any luck?
1966, I was 13 years old, and everything was beautiful. Mom and Dad traded their 1957 Bel Air, for a 1965 Caprice 😅. We went from Texas to California, visited family. Fantastic trip, Dad fell asleep, Mom went FAST! Dad woke up for gas stops. People asked "what engine do you have in that Chevy?" Dad looked at Mom, Mom Shrugged her shoulders. 😮
Great story! My father bought a 1966 Impala SS brand new just months before I was born. The story goes that my mother was not happy that he did that. I never thought too much about that car until I was older and realized the significance of it. I haven't searched it out and purchased it back but your story is inspiring......maybe someday.
Great story. It hits home for me. Our 'family car' was a white '65 Impala and then a '67 white (w/black vinyl top) Impala. Like this story, as kids. my brother and I proudly rode in the back seat of those incredible cars. To us, it felt like having a sports car, but big enough to fit the whole family inside.
My dad’s 68 is a 396. Love that thing.
That was beautiful. I got the chill bumps when Dad saw the car. I did get nervous when he was clutching his heart though. Great story.
What amazing kids you are! Your not even my kids and I'm so proud of you! He's a lucky man
It's incredible how you can get so attached to an inanimate object but I seem to have a knack for it. I have 2 vehicles that I have had for over 30 years and I will most likely have them until I die. They both just happen to be a 64 C30 tow truck and a 1978 Malibu. God Bless all us motoheads.
Amazing!! Loved it, so cool! So many times I've wondered and tried to get my first new factory hot rod back and time is running out. So beautiful to see this family's success. Loved it.
This is truly the best commercial I've ever seen 👏
Boy, this made me cry. Great vedio Chevrolet.
Best car commercial EVER !! BRAVO CHEVY BRAVO !!!!!!!!
Great story. Impossible to truly appreciate this story unless you've owned and lost a Classic car. Part of your heart leaves when the car is gone. I cannot imagine a greater gift to give your Dad. My Father finally replaced a 1951 Mercury that had been totaled in an accident 40 years prior. He would just beam every time he got around that car. I guess it was his own little time machine..
I think that this is the "Number One" on CZcams!
I found it a couple of years ago, and i still keep coming back every now and then...
One wonderful family, and it felt sooo good inside to watch it😍.
Last year I was surprised with a Saab 900 S -90 for Christmas from my twin sons, and it's a beauty to.
Ok, whos cutting onions? Stop it...
Chevy hits this one out of the ballpark. Well done Chevrolet!!
Some people will never understand this. I truly feel sorry and sad for those people.
What a great.story and I enjoyed this so much. Thanks for sharing
Saw this video when it first came out about decade a go. Moved me then and moves me now.
that is the best CZcams video out their hands down and yes it brought tears to my eyes
Simply beautiful!
The happiest man in the world!
1965 - best selling year for Chevrolet's full size car. They sold more Impala's, Bel Air's and Biscayne's than any other model year.
Wow, super amazing. What a cool thing to do for your Dad.
My Dad had a '65' He's gone now, but I'd give my right arm to ride with him in that car one more time.
Best cry I’ve had in a long time thank you Chevy……
I‘m in tears every time watching this.
This is great!!! Takes me back to my teen years!!!
Remembering what is was like to be an American. Priceless.
The fact that he said "They changed the mufflers" shows how attached he is to that car. It's like hearing your child's voice through a loud crowd.
Its funny, i'm 34 and my first brand new car I drove off the lot was a 2010 Impala. Chevy runs deep for sure.
Got be damn almost CRYING. They love daddy forreal. That's a dream AUTOMOBILE. That car prolly worth 100k easy . That car is they big brother. Its part of the family.
Family, that car helped build those strong family ties.♥️
I'm a Dodge girl I owned a 1964 Dodge Dart and I loved driving it. I wish I still had it.
Welcome Back Home 1965 Chevrolet impala SS 396 4spd I'll be crying to y'all got a good Dad it was God all the time he got the real deal
Mine was a '65 Chevelle 327 SS, Cyprus Green with white interior. Oh, how I wish I had it now.
This video has inspired me to begin looking for my dad’s ‘66 Caprice. It is the exact color of this Impala, which brought tears to my eyes when it rolled up to the house. Sadly, he passed away when I was young, but it would mean so much to my mom to drive it again. She had to sell it because she couldn’t afford to keep 2 cars.
My dad's dream was an Olds Rocket Motor powered car - he achieved THAT just before he passed away (at 31). My uncles were a BIG influence growing up (they owned a Carpet Installation Business during *probably* the best times for that business). Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge is credited with starting the "Van Craze" - my Uncle's did ALL the work for *THAT*. They were both heavy Mopar enthusiasts: Uncle Ronnie bought a '70 Challenger RT/SE 426 Hemi (for his wife to drive) - yeah, right. Uncle Paul had a '69 Super Bee with the 440 6-pack, then traded that in for the '72 Demon GSS (340 ci Paxton Super Charged) monster (Norm warned him that they wanted to only do automatics, but my uncle insisted on having a 4 speed). I've listened to when my uncles and their friends would get together, and eventually, it'd get around to cars that they'd wished they'd kept. I listened - never get rid of a car you have an emotional attachment to. I still have my '65 GTO Convertible from High School - my 1st Love.
One of my Uncles on my dad's side (he married one of my Dad's sisters), sold insurance in the small town they grew up in, always had cars that I was impressed with (even as a youngster). Uncle Ed (because of the 6 or so kids he had), bought Station Wagons - with the BIGEST MOTORS OFFERED - 427, then 455 (I don't think my cousins realized it until I pointed it out.
This is a family, so nice. I love stories like this and wish my life could have positive family stories.
Beautiful story. What a happy moment in his life to see his Chevy again. My dad had the very same make and model, and year. It was midnight blue with white leather interior. Back in those days there was a sense of pride in ownership. Cars back then had their own identity. So different from each other. They had character. You could identify each make and model as they rolled down the street. Not so anymore. They all look like they come off the same assembly line. Hard to identify until you see the badge. Shame. Love the video. Brought back memories of my own. At least I had a chance to drive dad's car when I got my license. Oh, the rumble! Now kids put on those fart mufflers. 🙄😂
I understand this all too well. I just handed over my title to my 2007 Porsche Cayman. Mr. Frank, I know the young lady will take care of it as I have. It's about passing the love for your ride on to the right person at the right time as well.
