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 in 2005 ..at the age of 102 !!!



He was the oldest living owner of a car from new. 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) ...That's approximately 2073 miles per year...

Can you imagine keeping your Commander for that long?

What about you car lovers out there, what's the longest you have owned a car from new?

The longest I have ever owned a car from new is my 2001 P.T. Cruiser. I also have my 2006 Commander and a 2008 smart which I purchased new.

The longest I have owned ANY car would be my 1955 Willy which I purchased used in 1976, 34 years ago and still have in the garage at home.
