The 89 Year Old and her 1964 Mercury Comet
Meet Rachel & Chariot – an 89 year old and her 1964 Mercury Comet. They’ve been together for over 540,000 miles! This is one of the most inspiring videos ever, in my opinion. Also surprising – had no idea the ‘64 Merc would have power steering or cruise control. Thanks to growingbolder.com for the clip!

Mercury is my car of choice. the 64 Comet was a very popular in its day and was a good quality auto. I have a 1956 Mercury Montclair Phaeton and just think its peachy. Bravo for this lady. Now that’s what I call living life.
Well Bravo for the 89 year old lady!! I wonder how many miles are on the car!!
You go girl! Just think of the money we have all lost each time we traded cars and the money you have saved, and you still have a pretty car. I love this story! We should all be less materialistic and save like this little sweet lady. We need a dose of her “spunk”. LOL
