In 1969 I bought a 56 mercury which was TOTALLY worn out at 60,000 miles. Last fall sold a 1993 Lincoln with 150,000 which was still a better car than the 1963 Ford that i bought new out of the show room. Now have a Lincoln LS which goes 80 mph at only 2500 rpm. They are built much better now and are capable of lasting 4 times as long. Good thing about the electronic parts they seldom cause trouble. MY 1963 nFord and the mercury had to be tuned at every 10,00 miles and the 93 Lincoln only had spark plugs and wires replaced at 90,000 miles. If cars still had breaker points there would not be enough mechanics to keep them tuned.
