**Final Update...** I am sorry to say that this will be my last update on Pop Pop. On December 10th, his loving wife, my Grandma, "Ma" passed on from this life. Last night, December 14th, he went on to join his "Honey." They were married 65 years, were loving parents to 3 wonderful kids, the best grandparents in the world to the 6 luckiest grandchildren, and the happiest great grandparents of 5 beautiful great granddaughters. I have personally been beyond blessed to have been supported by, loved by, and cherished by these incredible people for 29 years, and I feel completely lost without them. Thank you all for your kind words, prayers, and for inquiring about my sweet Pop Pop's health and well being. He got a kick out of this video going viral, he enjoyed being able to say he finally had a Mercedes, and he loved being surrounded by the family he adored and who adored him back. At least I have this sweet, silly video to look back on and smile. 💗 P. S. No, sadly we will not be buring him in the Mercedes. He'd probably want us to try! Haha 😆😭💔
Fulfilling a lifetime dream of your parents or grandparents is priceless. It's not the cost of the car that matters to them. It's the act of giving it that makes it so special to them.
I never had a grandfather, or a grandmother...or even a father. But I knew I wanted to end that cycle, and become the best father and grandfather I could be. I have two grown biological sons, two non biological grown daughters, and 10 grandkids now. They are MY Mercedes! Thanks for posting this video.
**UPDATE** Pop Pop will be 92 in June, and he is no longer driving the Mercedes himself. When the weather is nice, we'll drive him around with the top down. 😊 He still loves that car, and shows it off to his buddies. 😁
**UPDATE** Pop Pop has had a sharp decline in his health over the past few months. He has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He is on oxygen, and spends a lot of time in bed. We are working on getting physical therapists to come in throughout the week to help him gain some strength back and to keep his muscles from atrophying. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. So many of you have been so kind, and the joy this video has brought to so many is an absolute pleasure to us. Now, we need positive thoughts/vibes/prayers for Pop Pop. Thank you to all those who have continued to check in on this man that I have loved so dearly for my whole life. It is wonderful to see so many adoring him from afar. Love to you all! xoxo 💕
That was a beautiful moment. Why do people have to be so harsh? Maybe this is the time in his children's lives that they can now afford to buy him his dream car. So what if he is old. He can enjoy it until.... 😋
This is one of the best videos I've watched in years. congratulations to those who provided such happiness to grandpa. what you have done is priceless.
I usually don't like many of these videos but this family is so sweet and seems so humble and full of humility. Wonderful family and a wonderful gift. You can tell he's truly touched with all the love you guys have for him. This is what makes me believe in humanity, stuff like this.
**UPDATE** Thank you all so much for your prayers and well-wishes! Pop Pop has been in a rehab facility for the last 2 weeks, and it has been such a blessing! He is feeling great, regaining his strength, and is in good spirits! We are hoping he'll be home for Christmas. 🤞🏻🙏🏻😁😍 You are all so sweet for checking in on our guy! Thank you, everyone! 🥰💕
Oh I just love your family! From people like you, I would learn when it’s like to “be a family.” I’m trying to figure it out for my kids sake with no personal examples to follow! Beautiful family and a darling video! Share more of y’all!
THANK YOU for SHARING ... THE IMPORTANCE & MEANING .. of "FAMILY" YOUR ... TOUCHING Video that spoke from the HEART !!!! Sorry for the Loss of your Grandma & the health news of your Grandpa. It's hard to lose any of your family members. My Prayers to You & Your Family. BE STRONG for your family. May G😇D watch over your family.
Well done guys this is how it should be to our parents and our grandparents it clearly shows that we appreciate them for what they have in our lives and not only that but to the nations and the whole world thank you so much guys once more and God bless you all.
What a nice tribute to a family patriarch. This so much love and respect for our older generation. Although I am not sure, but I doubt if he even knows who Christie Brinkley is. That doesn't matter though. It is the THOUGHT that counts!
Pobre hombre. Un poco más y le da un ataque. Aunque debo reconocer que cuando yo le regalé a mi padre el Mercedes que siempre había querido, tuvo una reacción similar y rompimos a llorar juntos abrazados. Cuando un regalo nace del corazón, se nota la diferencia. El corazón palpita de forma diferente, sientes un escalofrío de los pies a la cabeza y cada vez que lo recuerdas sientes la misma emoción del momento. Este vídeo me hace llorar de la emoción cada vez que lo vuelvo a ver
Aww!! My mom & I wanted that same car back in the 80’s!! She’s now 85 & can’t drive anymore... but I’d love to get her one anyway!! This is a beautiful family!! 💞
I said to myself I wouldn’t watch any more of these ‘surprise’ videos today man so many happy years watchin people receiving gifts that are so deserved. Hope your still enjoying your Mercedes grandpa ❤️
Late to the party to comment - but loved this video. 65 years of marriage - that's fantastic for them. May they both rest in peace together. Such a sweet reaction from him when realizing the car was his gift. Remarkable family.
I know a lot of people were upset about the morbid jokes, but that is how my family teases. My dad (the one making said jokes) is the one who bought my grandfather the car. He was joking with my grandma and aunt in the background about it. No one took offense. They all do it to each other. It is hard to understand when you don't know the family dynamics, though. Hopefully this makes you guys feel a little better about it. 😊
God you know what really breaks my heart is that people can't get the things they truly want when they truly want them. As nice as this is imagine his joy if he'd owned it at 40. Then again, sometimes the dream is stronger than the reality of something. Maybe this moment made all the years worth it.
fatis dead you think he’s going to want a new model? I don’t think he’s going to drive it very often. Clearly it was his dream car hence they bought him that model and it’s more of a trophy than a day to day car.

Haha He doesn't drive very far these days. Just up the road to the senior center or to see his friends at the fire department. He's never been in an accident in his whole life. :)
How precious that you had them both for sooo long as well as such a loving family. They are sitting at the right hand of GOD still smiling about that car and what wonderful lives they led. Thanks sooo much for sharing such a fabulous story with us all. Bless you and yours…❤
Aww this made me emotional! My grandad passed away in the summer. When I got my Mercedes he was thrilled. Said he felt like royalty being being driven around in it.
Great present to your Grandpa. He's so happy and the joy of his heart and soul will always be a source of prosperity and reward for the rest of your life. Great job kid and may God bless you.

Uhh. They are both happy with each other’s side in heaven riding the most wonderful car.
I’m very sorry to hear about your loss!
It's crazy after the wife or husband dies the other partner gives up on life and dies days after
My condolences to you and your family. Strength to all of you. He looked very kind...
Sorry for your loss

Honestly, this is one of my most favourite videos I ever saw on RUclips. What a wonderful thing to do for an elderly gentleman.
Is he still allowed to drive at his age
@@sunshinemoonshine4022 It was the thought and gesture of love from his family. Not the fact that he would drive it. Come on now.
Enjoy every second. Wish I could just meet my grandfather. He was 65, back in 2008. Apreciate what you have people.

Thats a beautiful car. And i love the old mans reaction lol he seems like a very wholesome person
Videos like this just put a big smile on your face! He was so happy!
The 450 SL was my dream car when I was a kid 40 - 50 years ago.
Such a beautiful grandfather. I wish my grandfather were still alive. Blessed is this family to still have their family with them.
That was so sweet of you to make the old dude’s heart beating faster!
"Can't even hear me talk?"
"I'm too high!"
xD
That old man did everythink for his family. Im sure
It touched my heart....he cryed of Joy...how wonderful to makes his day!

Those years of Mercedes Benz are beautiful inside and out. Classy.
I love how he says “Hey Guy” when the dog goes in front.
Very nice presents !
"Also, apologies for my camera work."

OH MAN. this sweet old guy reminds me SO MUCH of my deceased grandfather and my heart is in pieces. Baldvin Steinarsson, RIP in Valhalla. 💕
RUclips needs more people like you who can share videos that actually deserve recognition and appreciation! This is heartwarming❤
This video gave me so much life! I love this!
This is so nice, makes my heart smile!

I'm not sure if gpa or gma was more excited lmao I could hear gma in the back ground freaking out haha
Bless him,he deserves it 💜
“Little Bastids, you wait til I can barely even drive it???”
That's what I thought too. But hey it's the thought that matters. And it did actually put a smile on his face during his last days.
You guys are awesome. Family like this is too precious.
Aww how sweet. Poor fella looked like he was gonna have a heart attack!!! Love him
Hey, how are you and the weather over there?
Why does a 57 year old man get emotional watching videos like this. I guess I like it when people are kind.
“That’s your car”
“What’re ya talking about?!”

My fav video ever!!!!! Beautiful family
Thank you!
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing this! I didn't want to cry, but too late!

Grandpa wasn't getting out of his dream car. Love It.
If someone makes that many jokes about me dying when I’m that age, I’m rewriting my will and burning down the house 😂😂😂

That's nice. but looking at him, his driving days are well past.
edit: by his hearing
Haha He doesn't drive very far these days. Just up the road to the senior center or to see his friends at the fire department. He's never been in an accident in his whole life. :)
Wolfay 110915 That's great! How old is your grandpa?
Haha Yeah, he's pretty impressive. And thank you, but I just recorded it. It was my generous parents who got him the car.

Rich Royalty and an awesome wallet. don't forget the awesome wallet!
Still with the German number plate!
Fantastic gesture

This is the only video on RUclips that made me have tears in my eyes. The grandpa reminds me of my grandfather who passed away 4 years ago.
Aww this made me emotional! My grandad passed away in the summer. When I got my Mercedes he was thrilled. Said he felt like royalty being being driven around in it.
Now this is a sweet ride. This is the 450 SL big old engine 👍🏼What a classic. I grew up in the 70's & parents had Mercedes, fun memories.
God Bless the grandpa...
Wow, What a nice surprise !!!
His dream car came to him at edge of his life
I mean seriously though who in their minds would ever dislike a video like this
Great present to your Grandpa. He's so happy and the joy of his heart and soul will always be a source of prosperity and reward for the rest of your life. Great job kid and may God bless you.
Is grandpa still alive. You people made his day bright. God bless you
"Im too high" i felt that
Are you sure that he can drive it?)))
That was Christie Brinkley's car ? Wow . That makes the drivers seat feel even better ! lol
Grandson is a good boy...very respectful
Your grandfather is absolutely adorable 👴💜🤗 Thank you for sharing this beautiful video 😊
well that explains the hike in my insurance premiums.. Enjoy grandad..
