I never set out to cover seven decades of vehicles, it just worked out that way.
My '39 Plym conv is one of my favorite cars, a very unusual, rare car. Only 81 known examples exist according to the Plym Club.

I'm still claiming the title. I'll be 90 on the 27th of December.

77 here and still playing with old Fords. Much cheaper than playing with women and they don't complain.

Side Bar to the '39 Plym conv cpe that Petehoovie posted..

The car shown in the #265 is one of the rarest P8 conv's listed in the POC, this is the only known example of a P8 w/dual spares. Documentation that came with the car showed that the dual spares were a special factory option.
I had a special order right hand fender spare assembly for my Plym, decided not to use it, cluttered things up to much. Sold it to a man in Florida for a pocket full of money.

74 for me. My friend recently sent me a list of funny quips about aging, this is my favorite:

Do you ever get up in the morning, look in the mirror and think “That can’t be accurate.”

I am 87, and still driving my '47 convertible. Age makes using three pedals tricky.

So, Counselor....I guess it's been settled for now! Ol' Carl ("bo8109b") from Glarus, Wisconsin seems to be THE eldest by nearly THREE years at almost 93 in April (see the link BELOW).
