I think he said 5 years.
My Brother had a 49 Mercury when he was 16 in 1960. It was the car James Dean made famous in the movie "Rebel Without a Cause". So it was "In" car to own back then.
I was 9 when he owned it, an I hated it. It was just a big old Lead Sled to me, since I was into 2 seaters (even back then).
I did like his next car though, a 57 Chevy BelAire 2 dr. sedan, tourquoise and white.
