Incredible - Man Owned, Drove Same Car For 82 Yrs
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 (article 2010)...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...
Course' I guess when your first car is a Rolls...it's all kind of down hill from there...

I'm staying in Romania for a while but I'm from Chicago, is there a problem?
