Dave Mellor NJ Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I know people are living longer now but I am totally amazed that a Decagenarian is able to drive any car let alone a completely manual 1930 Packard. She must have the new title of the longest continuously owned car. I wonder if she had any of those other cars longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest YellowBird Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I know Margaret and she is just an amazing person, car lover, philanthropist, more. The museum she helped create had a wonderful 100th birthday for her last year with members from several clubs in attendance, hundreds of friends and admirers. Margaret still currently owns vintage Cadillacs and a Ford pickup. Two cars she donated are on display at the Gilmore Car Museum near Kalamazoo MI.

From a conversation I learned Margaret joined the Cadillac LaSalle Club in 1959, the year after it was founded. Yes, she does still drive, in fact, has been seen cruising Woodward during the Dream Cruise. I'd have to say, Margaret doesn't look or act a day older than 75.She has some great Henry Ford stories. HF was a friend of her parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Awesome story! I only hope I'm around that long and am able to enjoy this hobby to the end. And she still does her own oil changes. Kudos to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Wolk Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'll have to shake her hand when we're at the COA. You go, girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
