It was my great grandfather's last car.

Description


I could probably write a story about this picture. It could go something like this: 'The young guy was gifted the car by his father, who got it from his dad, who got it from his dad. The great grandfather purchased the car brand new and drove it to church and family functions, as well as taking his wife, Rose, on some memorable vactions for many years before he was unable to drive anymore. The car sat in the barn out on the farm for many years, covered lovingly with a very soft blanket. Every so often, the Great Grandfather would go out and uncover his pride and joy and polish the body, start it up and drive it around the farm yard, until he got too feeble to do that. When he passed away, his son, the Grandfather, just kept it under cover in the barn, in an effort to preserve the memory of his father. The years passed and the old car was forgotten for a time as the clutter of machinery accumulated around it. As the years went by, Grandfather decided he needed a hobby in his older age. He took the car out of the barn and proceeded to restore it. Fortunately, the barn had been very sound and the car was still in a remarkable state of preservation, so it didn't take the Grandfather very long to bring it back up to a pristine condition. He loved to drive it in parades and take it out for a Sunday drive. It brought back many memories for him of his own beloved father. Our current owner's father helped keep the car up as well and when the Grandfather died, he continued the routines the Grandfather had included him in. He had his own son, the current owner, help keep the car polised and maintained. They spent many happy Sundays driving around the countryside, visiting old neighbors and reliving old memories. On his 21st birthday, the father gave the car to his son, the current owner. He felt he had instilled sufficient respect into the young lad to make sure he took good care of the heirloom. The young lad is certainly determined not to disappoint his father.' Well, that could be one scenario. Pretty lame but what the hay, I'm not aiming for a Pulitzer. M4, rendered in Poser 6. Postwork in PS7. Thank all you wonderful viewers and a special thanks to all of you that take the time to leave a remark! Very much appreciated!

Very good and warm dedication. Great car for an everlasting family ride you own. LIFE IS A DRIVE BUT NOT A CRUISE.

Nice work. I like the colours of the image in harmony with the car's paint.

He's a lucky lad to be the beneficiary of such a grand heirloom! I'm sure he'll take good care of it, it looks like he takes care of himself very well! ;^)

I actually went to college with a guy that this story would fit. He was still driving the car that his grandfather bought new to classes. That was about eleven years ago and I suspect he is still driving that car! LOL
