http://graphics8.nytimes.com/bcvideo/1.0/iframe/embed.html?videoId=100000000895665&playerType=emWell, this amazing lady made my day. Notice at the end of the video how she takes a little red towel, puts it on the running board, then throws it in the car to use when she gets out.

Normally, if a 101 year old woman tells me she works on her Packard, I wouldn't believe her. This woman is so knowlegable about the classic, I don't doubt it.
Thanx for posting.

Wish I could be that neat and clean.

(14 posts)Amazing that at 101 she can still get around and drive as well as she can.
And I also like old-fashioned cars as well. They really tried to build them to last in those days, rather than the modern cars which they expect you to turn over over 7-10 years.
