84 year-old man still driving his first car... a Model T!

I know a number of our readers work in the automotive maintenance field, and I wonder how eager they would be to get their hands on Clarence Curtiss's car. Mr. Curtiss still owns his first car, bought during the Depression, and it is a Model T! He credits the longevity of the car to changing the oil every 3,000 miles. If only I had known this a year ago when I let my one car go about 10,000 miles between oil changes and wound up grinding the engine into a useless block of metal.

Oh, yeah. And Mr. Curtiss lives right here in Shelton, CT as well!
