For sale: 1964 Mercury, one lady owner, 576,000 miles

I love this story about a 93-year-old Florida grandmother who is selling her car after 48 years and 576,000 miles. Rachel Veitch bought the Mercury Comet Caliente for $3,289 in February 1964. It has outlasted three marriages and 18 battery changes, three sets of shock absorbers and eight exhaust mufflers as well as surviving a rear-end collision in 1980. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-17603598
