My 1973 Chevy Camaro Z28 has been in my father’s life since he was a teenager, and now it has been passed down to me. Over the years, this car has become so much more than just a car, it’s a piece of our family history. We spent countless hours together building it, working on it, and making memories along the way, with most of the work being done side by side. Every time I look at it, I’m reminded of the time we shared and everything we put into it together. It’s something I’m incredibly proud to carry on and a part of my father that I’ll always have with me.Gerald Schueler

This is my husband's 72 Chevelle SS. It was his pride and joy. He passed away 9 year's ago but I still drive it in his honor. He loved all the cruises but the Dream Cruise was his favorite. I will take it up there with his picture hanging from the rear view mirror. I know he'll be with me. Thank you for sharing. He would be so proudDebbie Sims
