Bruce W (a Volvo enthusiast) sends us the Three Million Mile Volvo! Irv Gordon - a lifelong car enthusiast - is the Guinness World Record Holder for Driving a Volvo Three Million Miles - farther than anyone else in history. The Volvo in question is a 1966 P1800S, which Gordon purchased brand new on June 30, 1966. Gordon’s daily 125-mile round-trip commute as a middle school science teacher steadily added miles. By the late 1970s, the car had reached 500,000 miles. It crossed one million miles in 1987, two million in 2002, and an astonishing three million miles in September 2013. At the time of his passing in 2018 the odometer had climbed even higher, nearing 3.4 million miles.
