Re: [FWDLK] FW: Man Owned & Drove Same Car for 82 YEARS



i might as well jump in too..
 
got my first 57 plymouth the month i turned 16.. got my 2nd 57 at 18...still have that one- now on its second incarnation as a 58, that was something like my 14th car at the time, since then i've averaged 3 or 4 57/58 plymouths/yr
31 and getting older every day.

I've had my '57 Savoy since I was 18 and many of the parts on it were off of my 1st '57 which I got when I was 15, I'm 41 now but I doubt I'll live to be old enough to catch up to Mr. Swift so oh well, I'm out of the competition.

Well, Mr. Swift is now dead, so you might catch up to his 102 years 
eventually... but since he was given his new Rolls at age 20 and had it 82
years, you've got 60 years to go... anyone want to wager?
