1964 Mercury Comet Caliente

[nissangirl74]

...has 576,000 miles. Her owner is 93-year-old Rachel Veitch who gave up driving recently because of her deteriorating eyesight. as to what she wants to do with it, well, here you go:

Veitch, who appeared with the vehicle on an August 2010 episode of the "Tonight Show," said she would be happy to sell the vehicle to host Jay Leno, a known car afficionado. She's not sure if Leno would be interested, but her four children, nine grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, aren't in line.

It would be cool to still have Bella (or any of our classics) on the road at age 93; she would be 95 years old. :-)

Hah! Smart lady. After that much love and care she knows not to give it to her kids.

Vietch is fond of noting that the car has outlasted three marriages. Mechanically, it's worn through three sets of shocks, 18 batteries and eight mufflers. [...] She credits the longevity to a "near-obsessive" approach to the car's maintenance. "I've never been a destructive person and I've just taken care of everything, except my husbands," she told FoxNews.

Ha! Sounds like an awesome lady.

I bet Leno buys it.

He's cool like that.

Unless she's a ginger she'll probably get a good deal.

Also, the Comet Caliente was a neat car.
