How Long Have You Owned A Car..??

[Denzle]

     Can you imagine having the same car for 82 years !   

I guess by then the warranty had well and truly run out......

Mr, Allen Swift   (Springfield.  MA )  received his in 1928       It was brand new, and given as a graduation gift from his father.....

He drove it up untill his death last year at the ripe old age of 102 !!!   

He was the oldest living owner of the same car from new, and donated it to the Springfield museum.....

It has 170.000 miles on the clock and still runs like a swiss watch, dead silent at any speed and in perfect condition.....   sweet.

What is it then........Denzle, you might ask.....  "Well" its not American.... .................

I think I would get bored during 82 years , but he did only do just over 2000 miles a year - average for most kit cars I guess.
