The B M W Jalopy

In nineteen-eighty-five, so long ago, a dark red B M W became our son and wife's new car in Germany while stationed there as Army officers. Though many cars replaced it since that time, the B M V remained with them because their son eventually declared he hoped it would become his car someday. Fast forward to today- a dream come true; the B M W antique lives on! Through dedicated hours, he has restored most everything to bring it back to new. From motor, brakes, transmission, leather seats, to all the chrome details outside and in, new tires- and soon, a shiny bright paint job- his project, done with love- the last two years. The BMW exceeds his age- about five years- but still its will to live was met with our grandson's fine skills to give new life to its jalopy heart again.
