True, the odometer on older cars used to flip over at 100,000 miles because the car companies assumed few cars would last long enough to make it that far.
My ONLY brand new car was a 1965 Pontiac station wagon. Cost me $3434 out the door with registration & sales tax—everything.
I out OVER 444,000 miles on it before I sold it to a guy in Sweden who restored the EXTERIOR. Ran fine.
