Unstoppable Guinea Pig: 1990 BMW 325i

This white beauty has been testing Mobil Oil’s products all its life.  It has only been on the road for about 40,000 miles, because it was run on a stationary dynamometer for four years at the equivalent of 85 miles per hour (with regular maintenance, of course). After surpassing the one million mile mark, Mobil’s mechanics were happy to report that wear on the engine was negligible.

Little Gem: 1964 Porsche 356

This black sporty classic, owned by Guy Newmark of California, has also passed the one million mile mark. He almost lost his little sweetheart when it was stolen in 2013. Fortunately it was recovered with not too much damage, and Guy is back in the driver seat.
