On the California Rendezvous tour last week, my 1913 touring turned over 56,000 miles. It still has the original engine. I've owned this car since 1961, and finished restoring it in 1963. Can anyone top that?

Sure cannot be with two piece valves, white metal rear end thrust bearings, etc. NOT THE WAY HENRY DID IT!

On average this is:
903 miles per year
75 miles per month
17 miles per week
2.5 miles per day.
Everything works in theory.
Reality is how you determine if something works or not.
