History longest you have owned one classic/rod?

Owned my 63 Dodge 330 since Sept 1979 so that makes it 32 years this month
My 35 Desoto bought it in 1997 and sold it in 2009 making it a keeper for 12 years.
My 55 desoto s/w I gained in 2000 so thats only 11 years - still young in my garage
MMMM seems to be theme here - I don't trade my cars often and more likely will keep it.

 

I've owned my 57 nomad for almost 43 years, my first car at 16, first 59 El camino about 27 years and my second 59 El Camino for 19 years, still have them all.

 

I've had my 56 T-Bird for almost 44 years and my 30 model A for 40 years.

 

Bought my 55 from my uncle when I was 17, still have it. Bought my other 55 when I was 24 still have it and drive it everyday (if it's not bad weather). 39 now. Whew sounds old when I type it down like that.

 

Have had my Grandfather's 56 Chevy since I was 14...37 years and counting

 

45 years on my mustang which I purchased new in October of 65 and 35 years on my 51 truck--Still got em!!

 

3 or 4 years would be a record for me.

I have a stude now that has been mine since '04 but it isn't running for sure and hasn't in that time frame and I have given it away a couple of times. It has been titled to me since '04 and the title has never changed hands.

I suppose that doesn't count. So 3 or 4 years would be a record for me.

 

I have had my 40 pick up since 1967

 

My 28 closed cab p/u got it in70 on the road in 80 survivor of 2 divorce's, 140.000+ miles, and like a timex, it takes alicking and keeps on ticking. my 28 coupe for 26yrs, on/off the road. Cliff

My first car, I've had it since 1958, and I am now actively rebuilding it. I spent all yesterday polishing off casting marks on front end parts, and today running down some nuts and bolts.

It is my 1929 Ford cabriolet, body on the table, that motor in front of it is planned for my newest car, a '29 coupe.

 

I had just turned eighteen and over Thanksgiving weekend of 1962 I bought my 41' Ford convertible ( picture in profile )from Ron Fletcher of Ft. Wayne, Ind. I still have it. It's gone through some changes over the years. Hoping to have it at the Detroit Autorama next year ( downstairs, this is a driver ). If anyone from the Ft. Wayne area should remember this candy red convertible I would sure like to learn of it's early history.

I bought my 56 Chev 210 2dr originally in 1975 when I was 15
