Thanks Pete...

MAN DIES AT 102, OWNS SAME CAR 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 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...
