    I always said I am going to keep my car for a long time every time I buy a new car. Then I sell it 6 mths later...

    I can only imagine the maintenance that went into keeping that car going for 170k... I follow Dusenbergs a lot more closely than any other pre-WWII car and the maintenance that one of those requires is huge, can't imagine the Rolls is much less. What a fantastic story.

    I wonder what his family did that his dad could buy him a rolls-royce as a graduation gift in 1928
