    A 101 Year-Old Woman Drives an 81 year-old car - (Packard)



    There is hope for us all.



    This video clip is priceless.



    Notice at the very end when she steps on a little red towel to get into the car so she won't dirty the running

    board, then picks it up and puts it in the car so she can use it when she gets out!



    An amazing lady, 101 years old driving an 81-year-old car and changes the oil and spark plugs herself!

    Dumb question, but is there power steering on this car or no? Look at those biceps!!

    That was inspirational---you can tell she knows about cars.

    I love her line of "have you lived here all your life?" and she answers "Not yet!". Lovely lady.
     
  10. Hotrodladycruiser interviewed her 1 or 2 years ago.... Awesome lady!

    She posted her interview on the HAMB after Denise saw that she lived close to her home.

    I've been looking for that thread but I can't find it.

  11. Really?,,I must have missed it,,I bet this Lady and Denise together must have been a hoot!:)

    The lady is inspirational and proof that a love of cars must be closely akin to the fountain youth.

    Thank you for posting the link. HRP

    I love this, what an awesome lady :D Back when I worked at the paint store we had a 96yr old regular that had a 73 Caddy fleetwood that she bought new... she came in one day covered up to her elbows in oil... I had to ask why and she told me that her oil pan gasket was leaking so she went and replaced it. I asked her why she did it herself, she said "I'm still kicking, aren't I? Someone else can work on it when I am in the ground". Loved talking to that lady, wish I kept contact somehow.

    She's more alert and aware of her vehicle then many of the people I deal with on a daily basis. Great video.
