Mike s Pike 226-9800 MAN OWNED & DROVE THE SAME CAR FOR 82 YEARS They certainly don't make them like that anymore. This man Owned & Drove Same Car for 82 YEARS. Can you imagine having the same car for 82 years! "How Long Have You Owned a Car?" Mr. Allen Swift ( Springfield, MA.) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-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 that was purchased new. Just thought you'd like to see it. It was donated to a Springfield museum after his death. It has 1,070,000 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 13,048 miles per year (1087 per month)... Editors Comment: Is that an awfully big car or just a small man?
PAGE 4 The Great CRACKER BARREL Breakfast Cruise-In February 24 If you are not in the pictures, you missed a great time and some super food. Starting with fresh hot biscuits, breakfast was plentiful, and accented with bowls of complementary grits and warm conversation. Although the weather was a bit brisk, 30 people made the cruise, and some could not wait for the 8:30 show time, having arrived 30 minutes or more early! Lance
