1964 Mecury Comet update

There was a vid posted about this here a few years ago, as it turns out the car was retired last month because the owner is now legally blind

This has to be one of the all time best "bought it new, still running......." stories ever!

I hope Jay or someone who'd honor the car and more importantly the lady too---she kept a great Detroit product running-----show's how awesome a country we are most times.I can't imagine what I'd do if no longer able to drive----I'm a spry 61 BTW.

Thanks for sharing the update!
