One Among Us: Driving the same vintage car for 53 years

In 1957, Grace Braeger of West Bend traded in her old car, threw down $2,250 hard-earned dollars and bought a '57 Chevy. Since that day long ago, it's been her only car. The now vintage vehicle carries special importance to Braeger and a unique authenticity that you just can't buy. Video by Michael Sears

I'm not surprised the car is running, but the pristine condition of the body is amazing.

This lady knows more about cars than most my friends

I wish cars and trucks still came with bench seats. It's like riding down the road on a sofa.

Grace Lenore Braeger, 94, passed away on Thursday, August 24, 2023. Thank you for sharing your beautiful car with the world! Rest in Perfect Peace! 🕊🕊

I agree with her when she said that she’s never seen a car that looks better than the 57

"One lady owner"
"Low mileage"
"Regularly serviced"
The true holy trinity

[смиренный-хб]

She paid nearly $20, 000 in today's cash for it. I'd say she got her money's worth.

We’re a “throw away”society, leaving shit for for our youth. Fix your broken items and respect what you have. Respect to this woman

[Ct-mlug]

Is no one going to talk about how nice and precious she is?

[Inpaintballwetrust]

She is literally the perfect owner for the car. She drives it like a shopping cart but changes the oil ever grand! That’s crazy
Edit: I could give a fuck about the stupid analogy I used or what she does or where the car it as now. I make the comment well over 2 years ago but YouTube says it’s been 2. This just showed that you can’t even say something simple without having SOMEONE feeling the need to say SOMETHING about it. Fuck outa here

I really love her style but if everyone could keep cars for that long, 95% of car dealers will go broke.😂😂

[weirdnomad]

"I was raised during the great depression". That's all she needed to say to understand why she still has that car.

[timeless_realm]

She is the definition of a responsible adult. Very sharp and independent lady.

When everything was built to last.
When people took care of their property.
Kudos to this awesome lady!

[bombcrft]

Alright folks you know the drill. I’ll see you when YouTube recommends this in 5 years

[unclebuck]

"I kept the car all these years because I really had no reason to get rid of it." Spoken like most from her Generation. Now we have so much waste. It's sad to see. Very refreshing to hear her speak.

Been driving the same Corolla since 1980. Got it when I was 17 I'm now 56 and still driving it. 710, 000 miles on it and still runs good.

[djoki]

when your granny has a car with more cylinders than yours

[alanstorm]

Now that's a cool looking grandma with a really nice car

[NRCPOR]

She must be feeling like an imposter in this society for having such a suspiciously good-looking old-school car.
But still, I am glad that such people exist among us.
