In 1928, Allen Swift, Springfield, Massachusetts, received a new 1928 Rolls-Royce Picadilly P1 Roadster from his father as a graduation gift. Over the years, he put 170,000 miles on it, and drove it until October, 2005, when he died at the age of 102.

I know of a women who has owned a SuperBird since 1971.  I saw it in the mid 80's when it was garaged with 14,000 miles on it. I talked to someone this year that did some kind of house service in her town and said there was a lady who had an Orange SuperBird in the garage. So she still has it. Her story when she is 102 will be cool also.  I would guess she's about 58 today. Hope to see it again one day.

Update!! I just found the car today.  It ain't mint but it will clean up like new.
