Anyone getting close?
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!!!
iv>
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 andis
in perfect cosmetic condition. (82
years) ...That's approximately 2000 miles per
year...
