Yahoo Autos This Million-Mile Porsche 356 Is Still Driven Every Day
Most cars struggle to make it over 100,000 miles in their lifetimes. Deferred maintenance, rust, and general lack of care allow most of them to fade away and be forgotten. This Porsche 356 is different, though, because it's just crossed to fabled million-miles-driven mark.
Guy Newmark, owner of this stunning 1960s blue Coupe, received the car as a graduation gift from his father, who bought the car from its original owner mere months after it was built. For almost 50 years, he's been driving it anywhere he needed to go, putting an astonishing number of miles in the process.
And because it's daily-driven, Newmark maintains his 356 religiously, having it serviced every 3000 miles like clockwork. As a result, the car still drives wonderfully and reliably, even as the odometer rolls over into the seventh digit.
Porsche put together a wonderful video showcasing the life of Newmark with his 356, and even films the magical million-mile moment.
It just goes to show, proper maintenance can go a long way.
