This guy sure took care of his first car. It had the picture of him and the car but I haven't loaded the picture yet.

I thought I kept cars a long time..................................

How long have you owned a car???

Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield , M A .) 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....
