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. 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...

Just thought you would find this of interest.

Back in the days when cars had style, and even with so many makes and models, all changing every year, they made a profit.

And, not only that . . .
One could sit on the porch and name the cars as they drove by . . unlike today .. . ... when they all look the same .

This is when a car was a car.....
