A Lady and Her Car

Arriving in style...

   A Lady and Her Car  
  
 
Margaret Dunning and her classic car make quite an impression.
 
Ms. Dunning will be 104 later this month and is mighty proud of the sparkling, 84 year-old Packard convertible she drives.
 
She loves tinkering with old cars, and she keeps her beautifully restored Packard in mint condition.   
 
She says she can change its oil and spark plugs herself. 
 
And she loves to talk about its horse power and show off features like its dashboard map light.  
 
Let Ms. Dunning take you for a spin in her Packard in this video:  https://www.youtube.com/embed/qxCpK1W_Gjw?feature=player_embedded

Here's a very good story about Ms. Dunning and her love of cars from last year:  http://www.wheels.ca/feature/meet-margaret-dunning-still-cruisin-at-103/
