Long time car owner
"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.....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)

I've owned a car since 1974 when I first got my license. I've owned my current old car (442 pictured here) since Spring 1979. If I live to 102 I'll have owned my 442 for 80 years and the car will be 83.
