JIPJOBXX Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 As for me I have owned my Dodge for over 20 years now but it doesn't feel that way. I have a personal friend who still has a hot rod that he built in high school and that would be about 50 years now. Here is an attach picture of his 31 Model A with a model C engine and three carbs! Nice Santa Clause helper also! Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I guess that would have to be my coupe. I've had it for about 14 1/2 years now (bought it June 95). The only other car that comes close is the 95 Lumina I just traded in. Had it for about 13 years. Quote
RobertKB Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I have had my '53 Plymouth since 1975, the same year I got married. I still have the car and my wife. Since then, I have added two other old Chrysler products, two kids, and two grandkids. Life is good! Quote
Young Ed Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Little over 9 years ago I got this. My 94 dakota is a close second. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I guess my Tiger is the oldest in captivity..been caged a tad over 21 years... Quote
55 Fargo Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Bought my 47 Chrysler Coupe, on November 7th 1988, began the reviving process, on July 2005....Fred just shy of 21 years of ownership.... Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I've had my Plymouth for seven years. But my Toyota pickup beats that by far: 22 years and still going. Even on long trips up and down the eastern seaboard. Quote
P-12 Tommy Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I had a '76 Cordoba and a '66 Charger, both 6 years apiece. The '41 Plymouth I've had for about 3 years now. Tom Quote
1940plymouth Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I have had my Plymouth 21 years, but as far as new cars go, I have had my '05 Neon almost five and a half years and my '00 Pontiac the same amount. The Neon and Pontiac are the two daily drivers that I have had the longest Quote
LuckyDevil Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 My father got his 47 Special DeLuxe from his uncle when he passed away. My dad was six at the time and he just turned 52 this year. He was known as "the guy with the old car" in high school. Quote
TodFitch Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Bought my 1933 Plymouth DeLuxe Six (PD) in August of 1973. So that is 36 years now. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Got the convert in June of 1973. I think John Tee and his Dad got their first P15 vert in '69, so they've got me beat by a few years. Quote
55 Fargo Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Got the convert in June of 1973.I think John Tee and his Dad got their first P15 vert in '69, so they've got me beat by a few years. Bob, 40Phil41, got one of his cars. from his In-laws in 1968, he's got us all beat... Quote
Brad Lustig Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 My Dodge has been in the family ever since it came off the lot, but I guess I've owned it for almost 20 years (maybe about 18) Quote
greg g Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I bought my coupe in the spring of 1970. I have had my bug eye Sprite since 1980. Quote
bob_amos Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 My 1967 Sunbeam Alpine. 31 years. Followed by my 1956 Pontiac Catalina that I've had for 29 years. Quote
55 Fargo Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Just got off the phone with a great old Mopar Man, he is about 77, he has 2 -47 Chrysler T&Cs, one convertable the other is a sedan. The convertable he bought with 30000 miles on her in 1958, has about 60 k onher now. Talk about investment, this car is worth big bucks, and is total original form, all in real decent shape. Quote
David Maxwell Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 ...was an 86 Honda Accord. I drove it for 16 years, put over 250,000 miles on at which time the odometer quit working. I can only guess that I put another 25k or so miles on it. It was still running strong with nothing more involved than a change of timing belts ever done to it. I gave it to my son who blew the engine in less than a week. I know that if I had kept driving it, it would have gone well over 300k. I have owned my current P15 for around 9 years with no plans of ever selling it. I always pay off my vehicles in three years or less and never sell them until I've gotten all the use I can out of them. With the one exception, I've always bought used vehicles in like new condition which shaves several thousand or more off the purchase price. Currently have 7 years on my Nissan 4x4 Frontier at 157,000 and 8 years on my wife's 97 Mercedes with 149,000 on it. Both are running great and will be kept for at least another 3 years each if all continues going well. Quote
Paul Beard Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I bought my B4B in 1975 and retirled and tagged it with Antique tags in 1977. I still use it occasionaly and maybe someday I will get the time to do all the body work and paint job. So far it has had two flat black paint jobs. The firts in 1976 the second in 2008. The flat b;lack covers all the other primer spots that wre on the truck when I bought it. Thirty three years with a rebuilt sears engine with maybe 2500 miles. Quote
40phil41 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 As Fred mentioned above, I pulled my 1940 Dodge out of the field on my (soon to be) wife's family farm in 1968 (41 yr.) and it has been in the family since 1940. Purchased my 1941 Dodge in May of 1973 (36 yr.). Phil Quote
Andydodge Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Must be something about 1940 Dodges..........I've had mine since 1971...........andyd Quote

P15Mike Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Longest for me was my 70 Road Runner i bought in 1990 . Had it for just under 5yrs and then sold it to my dad as money started getting tight for me at the time . Dad still has it ... running/looking good as new ! Mike Quote
Lou Earle Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I really don't know how you count this In 1963 got a 31 a model pick up truck.used it in college and reading gas meters in Macon Ga- my part time college job-one of many-then in 66 traded it to cousin for 48 ford In 1991 cousin gave me the A model back had it ever since Lou Quote
JerseyHarold Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I got my '66 Sport Fury convertible in 1985, and the '51 Concord and '52 Cambridge in 1988. Maybe they'll be done by 2088..... Quote
