When he was just 8, Michael King promised he would buy his dad, Bob, a 1957 Chevy Bel-Air on his 57th birthday. Bob grew up poor and the '57 Chevy was always a dream car, one that he never seriously thought he could own.

He appreciated his son's sweet gesture but didn't think much of it. However, Michael never forgot.

Here's the tearjerking birthday surprise that's earned nearly 11 million views on YouTube. Below, Michael and Bob tell their story in a WDRB report.
