Margaret's Most Excellent Adventure

The adventure starts when Margaret buys a used car to drive it (only that one car) a few years...okay maybe a passel of years� and all of a sudden, post-passel of years, she (Margaret Dunning) gets invited to a big huge vintage car event with important people, she gets interviewed on television and radio, celebrities croon over her and want to meet her. What's the recipe for this you ask? It's very simple actually. In order to have a Most Excellent Adventure like Margaret Dunning you should buy a used car (new but only a couple of years old), say like a 1930 Packard Roadster then drive the snot out of it for decades. Then, after you are over a hundred (yes dang it I mean 100 years old!), you can have a Margaret Dunning Most Excellent adventure! Margaret Dunning, with her petite frame and obvious stout biceps is still driving her same 1930 Packard Roadster in 2012 at 102 years young! Margaret proves that old cars have to be good for your health! Well, at least longevity?!?! While in Pebble Beach to show my 1918 Mercer Race-about, I got a call from a nice lady named Joanne who said she was with Margaret Wednesday on the Pebble Beach tour when she had a flat tire driving her Packard on the tour. Since Coker is obviously Ms Margaret Dunning's exclusive tire supplier for her sweet Packard roadster, we jumped to action to fix her 750-19 Firestone Deluxe Champion removing the offending pebble left inside during the previous installation so Ms Margaret could again at 102 yrs old pilot her Packard Sunday morning past the "dawn patrol" onto the lawn at Pebble Beach Concours. Excellent is a strong superlative but clearly worthy for a description of Maragret Dunning's Most Excellent Pebble Beach Packard experience. I thought she deserved a bouquet of flowers! And our best wishes to her with many more superlatives! From the road, Corky
