Well, this amazing lady made my day. Notice at the end of the video how she takes a little red towel, puts it on the running board, then throws it in the car to use when she gets out.

2. That's adorable.

That woman sounds so full of life, it belies her vintage.
Normally, if a 101 year old woman tells me she works on her Packard, I wouldn't believe her. This woman is so knowlegable about the classic, I don't doubt it.

Thanx for posting.

3. That is the most charming video!

She's very well preserved for her age. Attractive & sharp minded, too.

5. Reminds me of this lady

No disrespect intended toward the Packard owner who is just amazing. Also, Grandma Duck's car is a Detroit Electric.

6. man is that lady spiffy

The car is immaculate and her garage doesn't even have a garden hose hanging on the wall.

Wish I could be that neat and clean.

11. This is amazing

Amazing that at 101 she can still get around and drive as well as she can.

And I also like old-fashioned cars as well. They really tried to build them to last in those days, rather than the modern cars which they expect you to turn over over 7-10 years.
