THE RECORD


The longest time I have had a vehicle is 15 years. My 1980 Chevy Pick-up which I kept until it was stolen in 1995. A lot of people keep their cars until they have over a million miles on them, but still don't keep them so many years. Last week I read about a woman that had a Mercury Comet for 54 years. Amazing, I wouldn't even own a Mercury Comet. Now here is a guy, Allen Swift, who received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Picadilly P1 Roadster from his father, brand new, as a graduation gift in 1928. He died last year at 102 and donated the car to a museum. Apparently, he holds the record. 170,000 miles and in perfect shape.
