Jerry Heasley aww that’s amazing My great grandma turned 99 in March and survived in hospital after a fall when the cases peaked here in England 48 years old when my dad was born and he’s 51 now
His dad kept saying YEAH BOY , you can look at his face and see all the memories running through his head behind that beauty. He was truly loving that moment.
Crazier is to think what this guy has seen in his life. He saw the Model T’s production cycle, the Great Depression, the rise of Nazi Germany, the Cold War, the Space Race, and now the advent of technology: drones, self-driving cars, AI becoming mainstream, and now a new push to go to Mars.
@@nope9885 ,not at all ..he's been around to see it all happening.. nothing's new to him,only to young people just discovering things for the first time.
Every time he said “yeah boy” I got a little sad because my grandpa says that all time and it reminds me that he’s getting old and won’t be around much longer.
My grandpa, great grandma, and auntie all died within the three months span this year and it made me realize I need to spend more time with my family as a whole I've been trying this whole year to get my family back together sometimes it seems like I'm the only one who cares but I don't want to see my family regretting their decision to stay distant from each other love who you with. Excuse my lack of punctuation
Instead of watching RUclips please go spend as much time with them as possible. I can't tell you how bad I regret spending so much time on my computer instead of sharing laughs and stories with my grandparents who are now deceased. Best wishes.
When your parents have been alive for so long, that you’re already the old man too, yet you still finds ways to surprise and do the best for your folks!
That was basically my great grandfather he was over 60 when grandpa was born he was born in the 1800s the son of a mexican american war veteran which is kinda insane. Great great was born in 1825
Hey, you tried. Lost my mom recently and I had a million plans for her, so you're not alone. I'm glad your dad had someone who cared enough to even think of doing something like that for him.
What you gave him at the age of 99, the chance to drive his 1955 Ford was priceless. To think he kept the car all of those years is quite something. It was touching to see him driving it after all of those years. Thanks you so much for posting the video, it made my day.
Because when people their age were young, may of them were sent to war. That generation is old now, so most of the older men have been in the military.
Tyler Barrett That’s because the government sent them into a war that we had no business being in and the genera public was also against the war. When they came back from war they were ridiculed and looked down upon. Even WW2 vets were against them because they were seen as the great generation because they came home victorious. The experiences they had also still haunt many of them and they never received the care they needed. That’s why so many Vietnam Vets ultimately commit suicide.
While living in Flagstaff,AZ, I made a lot of friends, @@frankgiaquinto1571, And in doing so, I met their families in many cases. It was amazing how many families aren't dysfunctional. My friends are largely stable individuals, worthy of knowing. My good fortune, indeed!

I'm a Black guy who grew up on the mean streets of Compton CA in the early 1970s at a time when you had to be tough or at least have a rough edge about yourself just to survive. Seeing videos like this one is priceless, especially since many fathers simply weren't around for their children at that time or had passed away at an early age. It's a true blessing for this family to still have their 99-year-old Dad around with his mental facilities still intact so he can appreciate the moment. It's funny how at my age now it's the simple loving moments given to or by your family that's feels the most important. To the 300 plus individuals who gave this video a thumbs down, if this type on video doesn't warm your heart nothing will!!!!
What a wonderful thing to do for your dad, he's fantastic, to still have his faculties at 99 years old is truly a gift. I think he is 2 years older than my dad would have been, unfortunately he passed away in 2011 aged 88. He was also a WW2 Veteran, In his case a paratrooper in the British Army. You must be as proud of your dad as I was of mine. Just like the car, they don't make them like that anymore. It was truly emotional to see him drive his beloved car again. It is wonderful that you were able to grant his wish. He is a very lucky man to have such a loving family.
To put your daddy behind the wheel of his '55 Ford was just PRICELESS and to see him driving just energized him. His eyes were as wide as a bug as he had the time of his life driving his old friend. Bless your hearts to all you good folks who cleaned up daddy's old 55 Ford. He was just like a young man again. Awesome! He's worth it. He's earned it. Why he's 99!
As a mechanic for the last 41 yrs not many car videos spark my interest, this one damn sure did though ! Loved seeing him enjoying this car !!! I'm also grateful for his service to our Country ! Thank you for sharing this !
Edgar AGG 60% of someone’s life doesn’t mean 60 years. For example, if I was a 20 year old, 60% of my life would only be 12 years. If I was a 40 year old, 60% of my life would be 24 years.
My cousin and I did something similar with my grandpa's '57 Chevy Bel Air. Sadly my grandpa passed a month or so before we finished it, but he knew we were fixing it up for him. Now every year we take it for a drive to go visit his grave so he can see it running again. Every time I take it for a spin I can swear I feel his presence in the car with me. That car was a major milestone for him in his life. First car he bought with his own money and it was the car he took my grandma on their first date in. Now that it's up and running we plan to keep it that way. It's what he would have wanted.

I noticed the built in Texas by Texans sticker in the rear window. That means the car was built at the old Ford Motor Company plant on East Grand Avenue in old East Dallas. My dad worked at the plant at that time and may have had a hand in building this car. Happy birthday Mr. West and thank you for your service!
*Everyone gets out the car* "Alright dad time to get out, let's go inside now" "Yeah Boy!" *Hits the gas pedal* Seriously that's amazing, the smile on his face kind of hit home for me. I miss my dad ( *for those asking* ) Yeah he died some years back in Phoenix, drunk driver hit him.
Sometimes i wish i had a dad, it was hard on my adopted mother raising me and my brothers with no male role models, no financial help or anything, im truly grateful

@FlintFlix So true ,,,, Unfortunately western society is now so fractured family wise . Some of the most happiest people are from the 3rd world countries, as i have seen in the Philippines many time and on return to AU , I see too many people with their heads down and hands in their pockets with the look of loneliness and despair,, Any way,, Thank you for your kind words and all the best to your family and friends from all the way from Australia PS.. enjoy your warmer months coming
Boy

“Ya, Boy.” Seems like a great man.
There’s always the random recommendations of youtube.
But this...I don’t regret watching
One of the most positive, heartwarming videos I've ever seen on RUclips, truly wonderful.
Better days for sure!
God bless you all.
Thanks for sharing this fantastic day.
MC seems like the kind of guy you can really count on. What a fantastic guy.

A family heirloom that would be priceless in any condition...That's a great story for sure.
80 years later: Surprising dad for 99th birthday with 2015 Tesla he thought would never run again
Everyday Tech battery would be fried in like 10 years
I hate modern cars
You mean surprising dad with a 2015 Tesla that really won't run any more. He'd call it a "Decroded piece of crap!" and chuckle at the joke.

How awesome was this! Dad must have been a good father for the family do this for him!,
"Yeh Boy!" Needs to be the custom plate for this his car
Love it! What a guy!
Did anybody hear the sound of that car door shut??? They don't shut like that no more!!!! That's a beautiful sound...
Hell yeah!
"Dad bought it brand new, been parked since '72" BARS🔥
"He really wanted a 55 ford crown vic a two door that'd be really quick"
this is so sweet.
just the fact that a car can be embedded into somebody's heart and memory brings me joy and tears as a gearhead myself.
props to pops for living a century and still sharp as a knife👍
Imagine this man in his younger days doing 115 mph in this thing !😌 bless your heart man 💜
On a dirt road, pretty impressive lol.
Howie Long Indeed👍
15:32 “the fastest i’ve ever drove it was 115MPH” What a badass
Funny cause yesterday my dad was going 120 mph in a skoda superb estate. How technology has changed
I did 117 in like 3 seconds in a c7 Corvette
R H unless it was a drag car with 2000hp you're not gonna be doing those speeds in 3 seconds.
@@Hoffmanpack you cant call him out like that if hes right lol. Technically you did 90-117 in 3 seconds. It makes a difference
I believe it’s donuts per eagle
This is the wholesome content I want RUclips to recommend me
I know I'm two weeks late but, you don't have any content on your channel.
@@ralph3706 he never said he did?
@@nick-kx4ix I read the comment wrong
@@ralph3706 I feel you there brother I always misread texts
That was Beautiful. The son said it all, when he said "that's what Life's all about". Beautiful family, beautiful people, may God bless them all. And Pop is amazing, may God Bless him,more.
Ah, seeing the look on his face you could tell he felt 22 again.
Nice!
Like the second day of owning it after buy
Sure didn't look 2 though.
TRX VLOGGER hell if only. Still a badass
It was beautiful to watch.
Damn, he’s 99 and still lookin quite good for his age!
Content Cop EXACTLY
He looks 90 at most!
Wow, he doesn't look a day over 80!
That dude looks 99 years old wym lmao what do you think a 99 year old man looks like?
Kyle kid you stupid
Awesome Video....I lost my dad 4 years ago... i wish I was able to put him in a 57 Chevy before his last breath. He died a proud father though I was blessed to have a last conversation with him.
Grandpa went back to the age of 25, so sweet that he is able to recover his childhood.
wouldn't it be great to be 25 yrs old again?.... lol
I am from oklahoma, your folks are just like my folks... salt of the earth, the kind that built America
I live in Oklahoma too. They seem like really good people.
Oklahoma here as well
@@gabeackerman4964 I just moved back after living in Kansas, the people of Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakota's are the same kind of folks as these guys from West Texas and Arkansas
@@tombob671 I'm originally from Nebraska, born and raised farm boy. Moved here 6 yrs ago. And I completely agree with you.
Middle America is the best! Iowan here but truck all across America for last 20 years and nothing beats staying off the coasts and right in the middle! People respect each other more.
Happy 99th Birthday! That is the Best Gift Ever, I love seeing stories like this. 😎🌟😇🙏🎂👏

"Didn't park since 72."

I noticed the built in Texas by Texans sticker in the rear window. That means the car was built at the old Ford Motor Company plant on East Grand Avenue in old East Dallas. My dad worked at the plant at that time and may have had a hand in building this car. Happy birthday Mr. West and thank you for your service!
Joey Robison. Wow now that’s something mate 👍
That is so sweet
When cars were actually made great and in America
I'm happy to see old people epecially now adays big respect

@@thewriter2549I believe I heard someone say you were in West Texas? If so what part?
Thank you
Thats fucking fantastic.... Glad to see you got it running...His face says it all, Happy Birthday sir, thank you for your service.
*Everyone gets out the car*
"Alright dad time to get out, let's go inside now"
"Yeah Boy!"
*Hits the gas pedal*
Seriously that's amazing, the smile on his face kind of hit home for me.
I miss my dad
( *for those asking* )
Yeah he died some years back in Phoenix, drunk driver hit him.
Rip
Me too. You sayin that made me cry. Losing a parent is very hard. RIP Pops 😢
Please don’t put me to tears
we all miss your dad. oh and ours.
Sometimes i wish i had a dad, it was hard on my adopted mother raising me and my brothers with no male role models, no financial help or anything, im truly grateful
Ladies and gentlemen, the RUclips algorithm has united us once more. Praise be!

Brought tears to my eyes, I lost my father 5 years ago, I’m a lot younger then you guys. But to see the look on both of your faces, the effort and love you put toward these videos and your family is truly inspirational ❤️
15 thumbs down? Really, people?
Happy birthday, Sir.
Bots too
Most likely are illegals
That dust from 1972 is older than I am.
Great video and a nice connection to the past
Love Life haha maybe or they just rarely cleaned it
Love Life Dust is older than all of us...
Love Life All the dust in the world is older than any of us basically
Shuts older than my dad
That's a priceless moment just to see the old man get to drive his car 1 last time. Very heartwarming.
This car is priceless.
I'm glad the family was able to get together while walt was still around to see everyone. Many times people only get together when it's too late.
Truly the greatest generation.
So he was 35 in 1955, that's crazy.
Wow he would be 100 years old this year. I hope he's alive and well.
His birthday was on June 11 but I hope he’s okay
I meant 18
@@David-jh7uj oh really? But yeah I hope he's ok too
And he'll be 101 next year
