My father gave me his 1930 5 window before he passed...It hadn't been running for 30 years and my 3 kids remembered dad taking them for rides and they all were in the rumble seat...I got it running on my mothers 84th birthday (she has Alzhimers) and we went for a ride around the block...Mom remembered the good times she and dad had in the car...A couple years later my 10 year old granddaughter drove it down my driveway...I had to take the seat out to have enough room to have her sit on my lap and turn the steering wheel...She had "Bumpa's" cap on driving the car...I have been working through mechanical issues one by one and the car will be Payton's when she is old enough to drive it and I put her name on the registration as a co owner in case of my early demise...Payton will be the 4th generation to enjoy the car so I understand very well the pride you felt in the original post...
