Dad Surprised With Dream Car He Was Forced To Sell To Support Family

A dad who was forced to sell his dream car 15 years ago to support his family could not believe his eyes when he opened his barn door to see the vehicle in which he shared so many happy memories waiting for him. After years of trying, Denny Harvey's family had secretly tracked down his 1959 Edsel Ranger, purchased it and planned a big surprise. According to Denny's son, Anthony, from McCordsville, Indiana, his father had had first purchased the car in 1990, and some of his fondest memories as a child were sitting on his father's lap as he took the vehicle for a spin. Denny loved the vehicle, his family said, and he would take it to car shows with his late brother until he got caught up in bills in 2004. Thinking the car would bring in the most money, which he desperately needed, Denny was forced to sell his beloved Edsel and never saw it again. One day, though, while going through family documents, Anthony came across the vehicle identification number for the car, setting himself the challenge of tracking it down. For some time, Anthony said, he had no luck – but in 2018, he was finally able to find his father's car down and purchase it.
