Man dies at 102 - owns same car 82 years - great picture!

 

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...   

We should all be so lucky :-))))))
