.... And She Knows How To Change The Oil

After six decades, Margaret Dunning still breezes down the road in her creamy 740 Packard roadster.

101 years old, still driving, still has her wits, knows how to change spark plugs and oil, has a fully original Packard roadster. She is the coolest old lady I've ever seen

She's a hoot! Good for her.

I love that she puts the red rag down on the running board before stepping in.

She appears to be more in her 80's than in her 100's. Pretty darn amazing-you can tell she's always been a "car person" too.
