O.T. Based On The Response.....Santa Done Good!

[Bills Auto Works]

Hello Everyone,

My friends & many of my customers here on the forum know of our battle with my Wife's stage 4 breast cancer that had metastasized to her back, subsequent spine surgery, months of wheelchair time, then walker, cane & rehab. After a year & a half she is back to driving & walking very well & we are WINNING the battle as the original tumor has been shrinking as shown on each 3 month scan! She loves our hobby, the cruises & shows, so I figured this was the year I get her one of her own! The 57 T-Bird was one of the two she liked the best, the other is a late 50's Desoto Conv in red of course, but that is a little big for her.

I had been hiding this car in my enclosed trailer since just after Thanksgiving & could not wait until Christmas, so I could give it to her! She stays at our "in town" house as she can't drive the long distance from this house to work each day ( I drive back & forth the 100 mile round trip 3 or 4 times per week), so I had the car sitting in front of the house with a big bow on it before she woke up Christmas morning! Between the tears, smiles & laughter....I think she loves it! LOL She drove it around the neighborhood with the bow still on it honking & waving to neighbors like she was in a parade

57 T-Bird 312 4bbl auto. Power Steering, seats & windows. Aftermarket air & front disc brakes. It is a clean Texas car that had been in Ohio for the last two years. Of course since we live in Ohio, I will be storing it with mine until spring.

God Bless
Bill

As a cancer survivor of 14 years, I'm wiping tears as I read this.  This is so awesome!

Thank You Everyone from the bottom of my heart for the kind, uplifting comments & prayers for
Laura & I.

Also the P.M.'s offering support & prayers as well!

Laura's "Baby Bird" is covered & stored along side the XLR-V in the house garage for the rest of the winter, because unfortunately we live in Ohio.  Spring is Coming though!!!

She is currently trying to pick a name for her car....Brigitte is currently the number one choice, since Brigitte Bardot passed close to Laura getting the car.  

God Bless & Happy New Year.

@Bills Auto Works that was a lovely story to share, thank you!  The car is a stunner - I just love the 50s and 60s era color combos, just so cool, and so glad to hear you are winning the battle!

Keep fighting the good fight and congrats, that is an awesome Christmas surprise - I know I personally prefer giving gifts rather than receiving - so fun to see the joy on someone's face from the totally unexpected thoughtfulness!
