Mr. Allen Swift & his Rolls 1928 Rolls Royce Picadilly P1 Roadster

(click the picture to see a larger image)

This has to be a record for car ownership!

Mr. Allen Swift (Springfield, MA.) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Picadilly P 1 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 the Picadilly 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 old, errr...... that's slightly over 2000 miles per year.

Unfortunately he wasn't a member of our club, but I bet he wishes he was !!

If you haven't heard of HHO gas, which is a source of energy using water, then take a look at this !!
