Car Show Gift of a Day Revs Patient’s Engine

Hospice patient Frank Evans is a U.S. Navy veteran, retired Post Office supervisor, influential community leader—and above all, a life-long car lover. After a lifetime commitment of service to community and country, it was time for the 72-year-old motor head to receive the ultimate gift.

For Evans’ Gift of a Day, Crossroads staff organized a private car show in the backyard of his home. To genuinely recreate the atmosphere of a professional event, it featured several popular models, food, and an audience of family and friends.

Car owners from throughout Southwest Ohio brought their vehicles for the afternoon, including classics like the 1959 Cadillac and 1971 Chevelle, as well as contemporary muscle cars like a customized Chevy Camaro. Evans sat behind the wheel of each, enjoyed a beautiful afternoon with his loved ones and fellow auto enthusiasts, and took a well-deserved drive down memory lane.
