We always enjoy attending Press Days at The New York Auto Show. We get to meet old friends and see all of the new cars without crowds and with all of their removable parts intact. Not too much on the vintage side except we ran into our old friend Irv Gordon at the Volvo Exhibit. In case you don’t know Irv, he is the Guinness Book of Records holder for high mileage passenger cars. He is 8,732 miles away from hitting 3 million miles in a Volvo P1800 he bought new from Volvoville on Long Island. We do not know how many Waffle House stops that translates to.dyr-irv-main-photo-v5
