Can you imagine having the same car for 82 years!
I guess it was no longer under warranty...

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