"How Long Have You Owned a Car?"

Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield, MA.) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Picadilly P1 Roadsterfrom 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...
