Woman Was Embarrassed by Dad’s Old Car Until She Inherited It and Realized It Was Worth a Fortune — Retro Story

When a woman gets a golden chance to get rid of her late dad’s vintage car she was always ashamed of, she finds something terrifying in it that changes her mind.

On a pleasant Monday morning, as shafts of sunbeams pierced through the fluffy clouds, Jonathan, 51, was humming Elvis’s It’s Only Love playing on his Cadillac Seville’s stereo. His daughter, Brittany, 17, was sitting beside him, frowning and worried if her classmates would notice her coming to school in her dad’s old car.

How hard she prayed for it not to break down in the middle of the road! Brittany kept kicking the legroom, lowering herself, and pretending to pick up something whenever her friends passed by in their cool cars and motorcycles.

For Jonathan, this car symbolized his pride. It was his first love, a gem passed on from his late father in the 70s. But for Brittany, it was a sheer embarrassment, and she hated it whenever her dad drove her to school in that car. All she waited for was just one chance to get rid of it…

“Daddy, why don’t you sell this old garbage on wheels and get a new car?? Come on, daddy, we are in the 90s, and cool new models are coming up!”

Jonathan had always known Brittany’s hate for his car. But he was not ready to give it up, no matter what.

“Brit, darling, this was your grandpa’s gift on my thirtieth birthday. It was my love at first sight. Come on, sweetie, I’m sure you’ll love this beauty one day. She’s a classic beast… just look at her!”

“You want me to love this JUNK??! No way, dad! My friend, Peter’s dad, has a cooler car, and I love that. Every time this junk breaks down in the middle of nowhere, we have to get it towed. It makes that annoying noise every time you pull over and takes ages to start. This car suits you better as your first love, not mine, sorry! Haaa… I’m getting late. See ya!”

As Brittany stepped down from the car, pretending nobody was watching, a roar of laughter startled her from behind.

“Hey, look! Old daddy, old car!!” some boys laughed.

“Yuk! Yuk! Jeez, man, these cars are still in use… Yuk! Yuk!”

Jonathan furiously stepped down and told the boys off. He just hated it whenever people poked fun at his treasured car.

“Hey, champs, your daddies will know better about this gem. Why don’t y’all get a life and focus on your grades instead?”

Jonathan’s straightforwardness and love for his car humiliated Britanny more.

“Daddy, stop. They are my classmates,” she embarrassingly whispered, clutching her dad’s hand tight and forcing him to get into his car and leave. She was overly ashamed and waited until evening to convince Jonathan to sell off his car.
