1928 ROLLS-ROYCE
How long have you ever owned a car ???
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 last year…..at the age of 102 !!!
He was 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, dead silent at any speed and
is in perfect cosmetic condition. (82 years)
"Life is too short for drama and petty things,
laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly."
Amazing. Most of those luxury vehicles never achieved such high mileage with several owners. It’s surprising that only one could use his RR as a regular vehicle. Amazing.
Nice blog, by the way.
What a great classic car! He obviously took great car of his cars. I recently found my perfect car through Springfield MA New Cars
