Показать описание

Bart Hickey has been a car mechanic for 30 years. He runs his own workshop in Alsip, Illinois (USA). But he has never driven a car himself – because Bart Hickey is blind. He has one big dream: to step on the gas. Feel the rush of speed. Be free. His son Brendan and Mercedes-Benz make this dream come true. “My Father’s Dream”, an authentic, touching documentary, tells their story.

Mercedes is known for 2 things:
1)Cutting edge German engineering
2) finding people’s soft spot and making us cry.
Thanks Mercedes.

I don’t have enough money to buy a Mercedes, but commercials like this makes you wanna work harder to own one. Much appreciated.

Wow, a commercial that is actually heart warming and not a cringe attempt at comedy.
Thank you Mercedes. If only more commercials were like this one....

True Story: I live a few miles away from Bart’s repair shop. I took my car in for a tire rotation and it was done so professionally and faster than any other mechanic I’ve been to. He’s got a great crew. I never knew he had the chance to drive a car. This is amazing stuff from Mercedes Benz.
