How about my aunt's car?  1954 Ford Customline with ~60K miles on it.
It has been garaged since '54 and used at least a couple times a month.
This is her driving car, not a pampered stored car.  This is an Honest
Little Old Lady Who Drives it to Church on Sunday car.

She has only a little trouble getting it serviced at the local Ford
dealer but she does have problems getting tires for it.

No it is not for sale, she'd love to replace it, but with what?
Something that will break in 5 years?  Or something that cost $20K?
