Chauncey & Lester get a ride in a hot rod!

September 26, 2024/in Fulfilled Wishes

Chauncey Corbin and Lester Mason each had their wish to ride in a hot rod granted, thanks to our Worcester County chapter. Chaunce, 70, has been a resident of Worcester County Developmental Center since 1999. He absolutely loves cars, but because of his intellectual disability, was never able to get a driver’s license. Lester, 80, has been a resident of Worcester County Developmental Center for over 30 years. He carries around a big, heavy picture book of cars and enjoys pointing to the parts that he likes the most. Both men love going to the Ocean City Cruzers show to see and touch all the cars, especially the hot rods. They have never had the opportunity to ride in one and having this wish come true will have a tremendous positive impact on their lives. Their wish was granted on Wednesday, August 28th when they took turns riding in a 1929 Ford Roadster, thanks to Ocean City Cruzers Club member Ronnie Young.
