Rolls-Royce Picadilly P1 Roadster Still a Classic
Graduation Gift from Dad Lasted a Lifetime
The Rolls is said to still run smoothly, and as you can see from the picture, was kept up beautifully. This story is making its way around the internet, and is listed on several websites. How great to know that Mr. Swift's father had many years to watch his son cherish and care for his gift. Sometimes the thought that you put into an expression of love and pride can last for a lifetime.
