81 year old car driven by 101 year old woman
THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MOMENT !
You can tell that she doesn't talk herself into getting old like most people do.
How neat. She's 101 years old. And look at that car. Notice how she even puts
a cloth down on the running board before she gets in the car and then leans down to pick it up.

Great thanks for posting it. That would be just like Mom Ann. She drove and did the oil on her New Yorker right up to her passing at 95.

She could pass for a lot younger. What a blessing to be in that shape at over the century mark. Says a lot for the car hobby, right?

Re: 81 year old car driven by 101 year old woman
Thanks for posting the video, Hopefully Growing Bolder will do a story on her.
My sister-n-laws grandma bought a 57 desoto convertable new, Said it was the only new car she ever bought. I got to see the car in 04 and it looked like it had never been driven and spotless with over 100,000 miles on it. She was as proud of her car as any man ive ever met.
