Oldest living owner of a car from new

It may seem easy at first thought... just keep your first car year in year out, but for a world record, you have to be able to live up to over 100 years!


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 (to be given 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.
