Fathers give us guidance and an example of strength in our families. They teach us to throw a baseball and how to make amazing dinners over a camp fire in the middle of the woods with nothing more than some hamburger. While we remember them each day, there is a single day each year that is set aside to celebrate fatherhood and allow a father enjoy his favorite activities. To some this would include a round of golf or a day on the water fishing. To others, it is the love of horsepower and heavy steel. As such, a part of the city of Boca Raton, FL hosts a benefit car show for all to attend. Bear in mind that as this is Boca, with all the financial means you have heard of, these are no ordinary cars. Instead, these are true works of art and the labor of many, many hours to create a rolling work of perfection.
This red Ford coupe is just one of the many examples from this past Sunday. Every inch was customized to an outstanding level of detail. From the highly chromed engine, polished custom wheels, and tight leather seats down to the layer upon layer of rich red paint that simply forced you turn and look. Aside from a few pieces of grass from the morning showers, the tires looked as though they never touched the pavement. This lit’l red coupe, along with many others, was truly worthy of a museum display. Fortunately for us, the owners were kind enough to bring it out in the Florida sun for all to marvel and enjoy.
One funny comment I overheard in the noon day sun was a father, talking to his young son, explaining that he simply wanted to come enjoy the cars on Father’s Day. He went on to recount how everyone kept “piling in the car” before he could leave home. I had to laugh – a father with a love for cars and a family that loves him; what more does he really need?
