My Parents' First Car - 1948 Plymouth convertible

By MATT NEUNDORF
If you don’t get choked up, maybe even a little misty, watching this video of a son reuniting his parents with their first car, you are beyond our help. Not only does it portray the lengths one son will go to permanently etch smiles on his parents faces — it also highlights the incredible bonds people form with their vehicles. A sacrificial sale when Joe Smith was drafted into the Korean War, his 1948 Plymouth Convertible always maintained a soft spot in Joe’s and his wife Beverly’s hearts. For their 60th wedding anniversary, their son Joel found, restored and delivered a working time machine, complete with three-on-the-tree.
Joe and Beverly Smith were the proud owners of a 1948 Plymouth Convertible until they had to sell it when Joe was drafted to serve in the Korean War. As a 60th wedding anniversary gift, their son, Joel, found a '48 Plymouth through Craigslist fixed it up and gave it to them as a surprise. The car will now forever stay in the family and be passed down through generations. (Video by Jeffrey T. Morgan) For more visit http://www.hagerty.com
