History longest you have owned one classic/rod?

l been wondering so l have to ask,,,

what is the longest you have owned a classic/rod vehicle?
two catagories for me. before being legally able to put in my name and after it was in my name.

l was seven and told grampa his 1957 chevy 4 door was mine and he said OK.

then when l turned eighteen she was regeristered to me. so l have had this one car for 45 years.

she is tore down right now. (red/white is the dream)
