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 170,000 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 2000 miles per year...
 
He didn't get out much. :p

I've got more miles than that on a 23 year old beater. :cool:

Great story though. :)
