The Sedan became a restoration project that lasted several years and quickly became his most prized possession. He took it to vehicle exhibitions across the nation and repeatedly won first place.<\/p>\n<p>However, in 1993, after starting a family, he made the difficult decision to sell the Sedan. He did it to cover Stephanie\u2019s tuition for seminary school. Despite his broken heart, he was prepared to give up anything for his daughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy dad talked about this car for as long as I can remember, always saying he would buy it back if he could find it,\u201d Stephanie wrote on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Twenty-one years later Stephanie decided she was going to find a way to get the car back. She searched for months and eventually found it. Then she scrambled to gather enough money and coordinated a secret plan with her mother.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Giving my dad back his original 1936 2D Ford sedan\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cLgxvAV1hsY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like so many other good parents, Stephanie\u2019s father made some sacrifices to give his children the best chances to succeed.
