We've had our '36 Phaeton about 3 1/2 years.

There is a fellow in our vicinity whose mother bought him a '36 Phaeton while he was in high school. The family owned a gas station and car repair business and the car never left his ownership, nor was it ever heavily modified.

He changed over to sealed beams, and may have put hydraulic brakes on it, otherwise it's as original as you would ever find. He's in his 90s' but the car will go to his son.

So '49 to 2013, 64 years. Not that he's a barner, but that is the longest ownership I know of.
