  • My grandpa's family is related to Nikola Tesla. It took us 10 years, but we finally got to ride in a Tesla together. This is the story of how we got here.

    I too share the story of my first love for cars starting with the original Herbie movies. My dad was a much older father and I was very fortunate to have him in my life until I was 26. He shared so many stories of all the cars he had owned from the 40's 50's 60's and 70's that were either iconic or rare. For a very long time my dad had searched to find his "exact" first car. Seriously...the exact one ! He had heard stories of people actually managing this. After several years of hunting it down using title searches through the state and posts in magazines, newspapers and I helped with online forums and groups...WE finally found his exact 1941 Hudson that hadn't been registered since 1972 in a barn not super far away from our home in Western Pennsylvania. Unfortunately...4 days before we were to go buy it back and bring it home...my dad got real sick and it ended up being put off. Fast forwarding 5 months, I lost my dad to leukemia and we never fulfilled his dreams of restoring his first car before he died. I do stay connected to the current owner of the Hudson to this day and even though its been 8 years since initial contact... I now have my own wish and hope to buy my Dads first car and restore it to its original luster !!! I live on a tight budget so its extremely hard to come up with $2,500 they want for my Dads old car but someday soon !!!! Someday I hope !!!

    Fantastic video, Joe. I was blessed to know your grandfather. He told me one time when he worked moving cars for a dealership that was relocating. He had to drive them less than a mile to get to their new property. He said when he drove a Mustang he made sure that he really "opened her up!" I loved it. Praying that all is well for Theresa and the rest of the family.

    I feel you can have pride in the success of the company as a relative of the man it was named after.

    My Condolances to you, Joe, on the death of your Grandpa. My Dad just passed in October at the age of 80. His first car was a '54 Chevy. My first car was an AMC Hornet, and my Grandpa, who died years ago, owned a Matador Barcelona sedan when I was a kid. Always enjoy your videos, especially the Ambassador videos.
