"Growing up my dad always dreamed of owning a 57 chevy bel-air. He grew up poor in a family of 7 children. He never thought he would be able to own his dream vehicle but would talk about it all the time.

When I was 8 years old I promised him that on his 57th birthday I would buy him a 57 bel-air. I never forgot and was able to fulfill my promise.

Here is his reaction."

3. I am a good son, but that's not me =) He is a good son. My dad is also a '57 Chevy man. He

doesn't own one but he does have his second favorite, a Corvette Stingray.

5. We had a '57 Bel Air 4-door sedan.

It was coral and ivory and had a stick shift on the column. It was a beauty. To this day I'm glad my dad only bought cars with stick shifts.

9. You may want to blockquote the verbatim part so posters stop thinking it's you.

But a great story!
