Mark Huston Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 My 1929 only has eight years left before turning 100. When my 29 turns 100, I will turn 72. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarfudd Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 My toys range in age from 107 to 117 years old. To see them turn 100, I'd have to get younger. Come to think of it - - - 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Dobbin Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 13 years to get the 1934 Fords to 100, I could make it. I often think we should have kept our 1915. I would already be there.

SC38dls Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 The beast is 83 I’m 75. 17 more years is not likely for me. But the 38 should make it. Hopefully I’ll go like my grandfather who went quickly and not like my grand mother who was riding with him yelling and screaming! dave s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bush Mechanic Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I do! Two years remaining to finish my project before it's 100th birthday. Looking good to be driving it by then, if I don't fall off the perch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H.Boland Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) It took 49 years of ownership, but my '21 Chevy pickup made it to the century mark this year. My wife doesn't appreciate it when I remind her that she'll be 3/4 of a century old in April.

motoringicons Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 (edited) My three brass cars-1910, 1912 and 1915- hit their 100th birthday awhile back. The 1927 Springfield Rolls is only 6 years away. I just turned 55, so I am 45 years away. I am not so sure about my 100th, but, my cars will continue to live on way past theirs.

Restorer32 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Now and then I remind the guys in the shop that they are working on cars some of which are over 100 years old. Working on this stuff every day you tend to forget how old some of them are. Gives you a different perspective when you think about a 100 year old car in context. Oldest we have in the shop right now is 105. What was the world like in 1916? Our younger employees are often amazed at the technology that was available 100 + years ago.

AURktman Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Right now I have two classics, a 1957 (64 years old) and a 1960 (61 years old). I would need to live to 83 to see the first one hit 100. That probably won't happen, not with my genetics. I plan on selling the 57 once finished and finding a good Ford Model A to cut my teeth in the pre-WWII world. I should actually see that one hit 100 unless my wife finally has enough of my car habit and snuffs me out (50/50 odds on that). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have a hobby of some sort people just go downhill. Restoring cars is a good one because it expands to take whatever time we will give it.
