A Colorado man was given a heartwarming surprise last week, after his granddaughter reached out to strangers who provided one last look at his favorite thing—a classic car show.
“I just wanted to do something special for him,” his granddaughter, Annaliesse Garcia, told KDVR News.
And ‘special’ it was, as dozens of car owners paraded past their grandfather’s home in Lakewood.
After posting the request on social media, the family only expected a handful of autos, but around 50 showed off their curvy bumpers and round mirrors for 80-year-old Max Archuleta, a lifelong fan of vintage vehicles.
Since being diagnosed with terminal cancer, he no longer has the energy to attend his beloved car shows.
“I had seen him at a show last summer, and I was like, that’s something that you do for your community,” said Butch Souza, who even taped a poster of Max’s photo to his 1951 Ford Shoebox.
The historical cars in every color lined up in single file and drove slowly past the home, some with American flags, and every driver waving and honking their horn.
“I couldn’t believe everybody,” Max said. “Just all this for me.”
