Wow!!

 

Very cool.

 

Awwww, that's nuthin'.

This lady was still driving a '30 Packard last year at 103 (okay, so she didn't buy it new, but at least she's still above ground...):

Incredible.

 

...and after his death it gets donated to a museum.....very cool...

 

Well, he couldn't trust his kids with it, now could he?

Probably all young and reckless, and not a day over 80. They'd go tearing all around town with the top down and a gaggle of floozies in the rumble seat, and wouldn't set the spark advance right.

Geez, and I thought I was doing great with a car that's only 42 years old. That really sets the bar, but I have no intention of trying to put a million miles on just to catch up. These rare people and their cars are exceptions to the rile IMO.

 

Mr. Swift's story was covered by me in Car Collector Chronicles back in April of 2011 - Car Collector Chronicles 04-11

 

I read your article. 170,000 miles I can believe. The link in the original post states over a million miles. That was more miles than I personally could believe for an open car.

Thanks,

 

Hi David: You certainly provided a lot more information in your article. Thanks for posting!

 

Did anyone else catch the information about the Oldsmobile crest at the end of the article. Also interesting
