What's recent? Last one I bought was in '86--still driving it, just
rolled over 220,000 miles last week. I bought another in 1977. My son
still drives it. Don't know the miles on it, at least 300,000 though.
And theres my truck, a '52 model, but it needs plug wires and points,
damned things just keep breakin' down! Paint's getting pretty faded too.
Think maybe I'll trade it in! Then there's the semi-retired '29 in the
garage. Nobody remembers how many miles it's got on it? Casting on the
back end of the starter is cracked, haven't found a replacement part yet.
Still runs though. Never been restored, painted once, but interior and
mechanical are original. (there's an OM photo of it in the unofficial
gallery)
