This man owned & drove the same car for
82 YEARS.
Can you imagine even having the same car for 82
years?
Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield , Massachusetts) received this 1928
Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-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 that was
purchased new.
Just thought you'd like to see it.
It was donated
to a Springfield museum after his death.
It has 1,070,000 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
13,048 miles per year (1087 per month)... 1,070,000 that's miles not
kilometres
