Throughout our time on this beautiful earth, certain things acquire a sense of irreplaceable value. It could be anything such as an inexpensive locket given to you on your birthday, to your very first bass guitar. For Charlie Marvin Green Jr, his most prized possession was his 1955 Chevrolet that was given to him on his 16th birthday. Unfortunately, Charlie was unable to keep the car for very long.
His sister was in the process of planning a road trip to California, and for that reason, his mother gave her the car instead. On the drive, the car broke down, and it was decided that it would be given to the scrap yard. Charlie, unaware of the situation, was devastated upon his sister’s return and continued to dream of owning his own 1955 Chevrolet once again someday.
Now, at age 65, Charlie still has a burning passion for the car. To him, it’s what he wants most in the world. Luckily his son, Michael, had the opportunity to save enough money due to his YouTube channel, Angry Grandpa, and decided that he would buy his dad his dream car. The whole reaction, from start to finish – was recorded.
It starts off in a store’s parking lot where Michael merely points out that there is a 1955 Chevrolet in one of the parking bays. Little did Charlie know that soon he would be the proud owner of that very car. The pair stops to admire it, and that’s when Charlie explains the story about when he owned such a beauty.
Then, a few days later, Michael arranges for the car to be driven to their home. Charlie, in absolute awe, starts to break down into tears while admiring the beautiful machine. It goes without saying that it was one of the most thrilling days of his entire life.
This story is such a beautiful tribute to the bond between and son and his father. The son left no stone unturned to make his dad feel special and bring back what was his most prized possession. And, of course, dad shows his appreciation through his heartfelt emotions. For someone who doesn’t let out much about how he feels, dad’s emotions were raw and true. I loved this moment!
