HOW LONG HAVE YOU OWNED YOUR CAR?

Mr. Allen Swift of 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 age 102. He is the oldest living owner of a car from new. Just thought you'd like to see it. He donated it to a Springfield museum after his death. It has 170,000 miles on it, still runs like a Swiss watch, is dead silent at any speed, and is in perfect cosmetic condition.
