NA - Grande Dame of 101 years drives her 81 year old Packard

[Skip Miller]

This is priceless. Notice at the very end when she steps on a little red towel to get into the car so she won't scratch the running board.

An amazing lady, 101 years old driving an 81-year old car, and she changes the oil and spark plugs herself! This is a hoot!

I want to be like that when I grow up!

An unrestored 33 Packard Roadster, I'd not guess what it is worth.

What's really great is she can still retrieve the towel.

Celia's Grandma drove until she was 102, then decided it was time to stop because her eyesight was fading.

She turns 105 in February, finally agreed to move to Texas this year. Got a marriage proposal a couple of weeks ago from a 93 year old.
