    I've had the Lesabre for 10 years this Nov. Looks a little rougher now then it did when I got it, but it still goes!

    My father bought it new in 1976 and I bought it from him in 1989.
    I've been driving it for just over 20 years now.

    Well, My Grandfather bought the 1964 Plymouth Fury wagon in early 65. Had been some type of factory rep car. Sold as new. My dad bought it from him in 87 and I rode in it as a kid. In 96 I started high school and the Plymouth became my daily driver. My Folks gave it to me as a graduation gift in 2000.
    So, technically I've "owned" it for 9 years, been driving it for 13 and it's been in the family since "new". It's never had a name other than Orthmann on the title.

    I've had my '87 Colony Park since '99. I used to be a general sales manager at a Ford dealership and we took it in trade with only 49000 miles on it. It's got 86K on it now.

    7 months tomorrow for our 92 RMW and 4 days for our 93. I did have my 79 Fairmount Wagon for 5 years back when I was 16-21. Poor old girl had a very rough life the entire time, I wish I still had her.

    That's not A.D.D., that's the car's seductive power.;) Happens to me, when Cruise Night cars are running on their way to and from the run. :evilsmile:

    Had the '56 Plymouth for right at a year now. All that has been done so far is the body work and epoxy sealer/primer. I've managed to acquire parts for it, too. Looking to get the car drivable sometime in the Spring of '10.

    "Had" my '56 Nomad for 10 years, but I got a '64 Chevy truck down back that I've had for 33 years now.

    ...and no plans ever to sell it.
