Nikki Minick is a mom battling breast cancer. She was released from the hospital after a double mastectomy and an infection kept her there, away from her family and her job. But Nikki returned briefly to the Overland Park Mazda where she works to wish her coworkers happy holidays.
But she found more than just smiling faces and well wishes. Her husband Brian was there with her 1967 Chevrolet Impala.
And the car had a whole new look. Nikki says that it used to be green, and in fact, now it has a new paint job — and it has much more than that. Mechanics from the Ussery Auto Body had been working on the classic car since June in order to get it ready by Thanksgiving.
The car is now outfitted with air conditioning, power steering, tinted windows, and new tires, in addition to its new sleek black color.
Nikki shed tears upon seeing the car, visibly touched by her firefighter husband's gesture and the goodwill of the mechanics and her coworkers who put this surprise together for her.
"It's wonderful," Nikki said. "Words cannot express how beautiful it is."
Brian also had very sweet words for his wife.
"She's been there for me, and now I'm going to be there for her," he said.
