That's a beautiful car. I hope he gifts it to a museum, or otherwise makes provisions to preserve it.
Islander255
Please tell me he drove other stuff on the side. Otherwise it's just sad.
babawanyika
He drove it regularly, clocking up 170,000 miles.

Some sauce for you all.

That's from 2012. I wonder if this is still true.
toxcrusadr
Outstanding, thank you! What a badass dude.

I hope to be like this man one day with my Volvo.

I drove a 240 for 10 years until it rusted away.

My grandpa drove a 145 between 1969 and 2006 when it rusted away
GilgameshWasKing

ZachsAnomaiy
Shh, he doesn't know that yet.

Those aren't the same pants though, right?

diphenhydraminehcl50mg
been seeing this picture for years, incredible he's still only 102
babawanyika
He died in 2005, after donating the car and $1m to a museum so they could build an exhibit for it.
PhloppyPhish1998
Damn, that’s gotta be worth an arm and a leg.
MightyIink
Such a shame nobody keeps their cars anymore, millennials buy a new car every year...
olliehopnoodle
That's awesome. I still own the second car I ever bought. It's been just over 35 years, not even close to this guy!

It hasn't failed to proceed yet?

Better than 75 gallons per feet...

That’s so many cubits I can barely fathom it.

ForeverSinceBreakfast
I bet you'd be surprised. Those old cars would get decent fuel economy, but the "dead trees per gallon" wasn't so favourable.
trepanation
Huh?
ForeverSinceBreakfast
Miles to gallon good at the expense of godawful emissions levels... which nobody gave a fuck about back then.

Exhaust
ImKimJongUnAndEverythingIsFine
Where would he get the parts to fix it? How would this be street legal with modern safety standards? Can it keep it with modern cars?
DrBinkleton
What? Why? Who? Where? When? How?
babawanyika
Rolls Royce has the parts, because Rolls Royce. Old cars don't need to updated to modern safety or pollution standards where he lived. 1/?
babawanyika
What do you mean by "keep it"? Power would be "adequate". It's a Royce. It won't hold up traffic. Brakes and handling are fine for 2/?
babawanyika
someone who's been familiar with the car for 70+ years. Safety hadn't been invented yet.
ford5of5
1928 predates turns signals, so that's a plus.
themuttonisniceandlean
You're supposed to use hand signals in that case. Unless you drive and old BMW, then you're too good to use indicators.
DrBinkleton
He’s 102. Doubt he would use one anyway
rubyrooh
If he did, he'd forget to turn it off.
TheThingNoNotThatOne
They still haven't invented turn signals in New Jersey
