Since Streep's dad has Parkinson's and uses a wheelchair, it has been a long time since she has been able to take him to a car show.
Streep was stunned when she saw how many people responded to her request.
"Wonderful, wonderful - I could not believe...I figured maybe I would get three people, maybe -- but to see that many people, I mean I got a little choked up," Streep said.
She says her dad does not talk much these days, but she could see his eyes lighting up as the cars passed.
