WOW, what a story. To find it in another country is crazy. The story behind his acquiring it is sad for the other family too, but it was very generous of them to see that he got it back.

These types of stories NEVER get old. To me, this car was like the heart of the man that tragically died. That heart was transplanted back into the family that once owned it. I am pretty sure that the story will have the same effect on the family in Denmark and they can find joy seeing the heart beat again.
