CNN HEROES | This restaurant owner spends his free time fixing old cars and donating them to people in need
(CNN) – When Eliot Middleton was a little boy, he followed his father around
everywhere, watching the talented mechanic carefully fix car after car.
Less than a year after his death, Middleton, 38, now a restaurant owner, is
honoring his father’s legacy by fixing junk cars and donating them to people

Middleton also launched an online fundraising campaign to
support the project. —read
