Many non-commercial vehicles (both auto and truck) have exceeded one million miles. For instance, in 2011, Irv Gordon had accumulated 2.9 million miles in his 1966 Volvo P1800. [5] In 2006, a 1995 Dodge Ram was reported to Chrysler as having gone 1 million miles.[6]
A very long running car is a 1976 Mercedes-Benz 240D in Greece of Gregorios Sachinidis that has reached 2,858,307 miles[7] before retiring to a Mercedes-Benz museum in Germany.
Another was the 1963 Volkswagen Beetle belonging to Albert Klein of Pasadena, California that had racked up to 1,442,044 miles on 25 Jan 1993.[8]
A common long lasting car is the Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car based on the Ford Panther platform. These vehicles are used as limo, police interceptors and taxi services in North America and often have 500,000 miles before requiring engine or transmission rebuilds.[citation needed] The highest recorded mileage is a 1983 Lincoln Town car with 1.3 million miles, the power train was rebuilt after 1 million miles.[citation needed]
