Chuckle 5593

Chuckle 5593 (Today’s Chuckle thanks go to Laura M of Florence OR) This person had a great start in life, an early exotic present. Mr. Allen Swift: Born - 1908, Died - 2010 This man owned and drove the same car for 82 years. Can you imagine even having the same car for 82 years ? Mr. Allen Swift (Springfield, Massachusetts) received this 1928 Rolls-Royce Piccadilly-P1 Roadster from his father, brand new - as a graduation gift in 1928. He drove it up until his death... At the age of 102. He was the oldest living owner of a car that was purchased new. Just thought you'd like to see it.

Rolls Royce Phantom I 1928 It was donated to a Springfield museum after his death. It has 1,070,000 miles on it, still runs like a Swiss watch, dead silent at any speed and is in perfect cosmetic condition. 82 years - That's approximately 13,048 miles per year (1087 per month). 1,070,000 that's miles not kilometers. (That’s 1,721998 Kilometers.) That's British engineering of a bygone era. I don't think they make them like this anymore. ____________________________________________________________________ (Today in History Click) http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history (Sharpen your vocabulary by clicking Word for the Day) www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day (For today's Horoscope click Today's Horoscope) http://www.prokerala.com/astrology/horoscope/ ___________________________________________________________________
