How long have you owned a car ???

[chetbrz]

A friend sent this to me today, I thought you might find it interesting.
__________________________________________________________

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)
 
Just thought you would find this of interest....




Cheers, Chet
