Ninety-three-year-old Rachel Veitch told reporters Thurs that she will not be driving anymore. One of the eldest motorists in the nation, Veitch, at 93, has been driving the same Mercury Comet Caliente since it was brand new in 1964.
Over 500,000 miles
Florida resident Veitch has decided to quit driving after she ran a red light accidently earlier this month. She doesn't have the eyes for driving anymore at age 93. Her 48-year-old Mercury Comet Caliente might have taken her to the moon and back again with over 576,000 miles on it.
Appeared on Television
A couple of years back, Veitch was in the media for having the Chariot at 559,000 miles. The vehicle lasted through three sets of shocks, eight mufflers, 18 batters and three husbands. She loved the vehicle. She appeared on the Tonight show with Leno at that time.
Veitch did not get hurt in the one and only accident her Chariot went through. It was a rear-end collision that happened in 1980.
Very well kept
The reason why the Chariot has been able to outlive so many other automobiles is because she took such good care of it since she purchased the vehicle in the winter of 1964 for $3,289. It has been kept in great condition with complete records of all the maintenance.
Where will it go from here?
Veitch is happy about putting the brand new car aside, although it is unknown where it will go from here:
Veitch is going to let the car be in a vehicle show in July and then will ask for an offer from Jay Leno.
