Default Can anyone top this...

Got this from my brother today.... WOW!

One for the Books !
Man Owned & Drove Same Car for 82 YEARS
Can you imagine having the same car for 82 years!

I guess it was no longer under warranty...

"How Long Have You Owned a Car?"





Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield , MA.) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Picadilly P1 Roadster

from his father, brand new - as a graduation gift in 1928.
He drove it up until his death last year.....at the age of 102 !!!
He was the oldest living owner of a car from new. Just thought you'd like to see it.
He donated it to a Springfield museum after his death.

It has 1,070,000 miles on it, still runs like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed and is
in perfect cosmetic condition. (82 years)
That's approximately 13,048 miles per year (1087 per month)...
