That's so neat that she has had it that long. Both of them are classics.

That's cool, I seen that video some time back. It had enough options that it was easy to drive and the fact that she maintained it so well there was no need for a new car.
There was an old lady here, her husband bought her a new '58 Pontiac Chieftain 4dr ht. I use to service it when I worked at the station and later worked on it at the body shop. She had a narrow garage and had a tendency to rub it going in or out. Pulled the bumper out a time or two, door handle, mirror replace, light bulbs, etc. She drove it well into her 90's when she got sick and died around 1992-3. I never charged her for most things and in return she always baked and delivered a couple really good Cherry pies and a great smile and thank you. :) A guy bought the Pont from her daughter and ran it into the ground in less than 2yrs >:(

Neat...if I would have kept my first car (a 57 Chevy) it would have been 50 years now :'(

My first new car was a 1970 Blazer. I still have it. :) In the mid 70s to maybe the early 80s there was an old woman in Reno who was still driving the 29-30 Auburn Boat Tail Speedster her dad gave her when she graduated from college. It was two tone blue and she wore a baby blue leather pilots hat. Quite a site!

You would have owned it for 5o years or it would have been 60 years old? Either way you should have kept it. I should talk with all the tri five chevys I have owned.

Now that I think about it,I bought my 32 in 1972 which means that I've owned it for 45 years...Holy crap time flies!
