Lovely story and an excellent idea
My Dad is 78 and is where I got the car bug. He ran a scrap yard for 25 years so you can imagine all the fun I youngster would have had being given free reign amongst all the wrecks of various types ranging from military hardware to motorcycles! He lost my Mum a few years ago and hasn't been in the best of health, but when he comes up to our place for his weekly visit his face lights up when he sees the Model A in the garage
