A short clip ran on TV tonight up here.
About a guy who purchased a 1929 Ford Model A in 1930, oh yeah and he still owns it and it is currently on the road! That's a lot of years with the same car... He says he restored it in 1980 and that it has 200,000 miles on it.
I've come across similar stories before and each one seems to vie for longest-term ownership, like one in our club newsletter awhile back - a clipping from a British publication (non-automotive) about a lady who purchased a 1930's Singer back in the 1930's and still owned it and drove it regularly!
And there was a Wolseley sold recently in the States via an estate sale. It was a 1937 model, purchased new by the owner, and he kept it (in decent original condition) all the years until he passed away in I think 2000 or 2001, and now the car is in Florida.

to all of the above owners, any similar stories out there?
