What a car not to mention the lady!
She won’t buy a new car until she has worn her old one out and it is still in new condition, after all it is only 84 years old (the car that is, oh, the lady...she’s 101...!)
This lady’s car is a 1930 Packard. What a pleasant and spry lady she is...!
Take note in the video that she lays a shop rag on the running board to step onto when she gets in and out of the car.
Then after she is in the car, she leans all the way down to the running-board to get the rag.
She is in great physical and mental shape for her age.
The car is not bad either...!

Reminds me of my neighbor in high school. Leith bought out Rawls 's Mercury dealership in 1963. Sent every registered Mercury owner in Wake county a post card for them to come in and see about a trade. Neighbor drove his 1949 Mercury in and asked why he should trade, as he already had almost 5000 (5K) miles on his 14 year old Mercury?

Wow! Great story and beautiful car! Sharp mind and as you said Charlie, she's in great shape mentally and physically!

I think I recognize her. She was well known in antique car circles.

If it’s her (and I am not sure), she unfortunately passed after an accidental fall while traveling.

Thank you for sharing that Charlie!
It reminds me of my Dad for some reason - I wish I could have shared that video with him!
