1964 Mercury Comet with half a million retired

By now you\'ve probably heard about Rachel Veitch\'s 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente. She purchased the car new and has cared for it meticulously since. As of last week, the odometer tallied more than 576,000 miles. The 93-year old Veitch appeared on the Tonight Show in 2010 to introduce Jay Leno to her “chariot.” Veitch recently announced that she will retire the car because of her failing eyesight. She will not leave the car to her children or grandchildren for fear that they will not care for it properly. From the few pictures that we\'ve seen, the Comet still looks great and it\'s obviously a runner. There has been talk of finding a home for it in a museum, but shouldn\'t such a car be kept on the road? Today is National Cherish an Antique Day, and we\'d like to know how you would cherish this very special antique. Would it spend its days in a museum or head back out on the highway to rack up more miles? Leave us your answer in the Comments below. Be warned—any mention of entering the car in a demolition derby or turning it into a donk will result in the immediate revocation of commenting privileges.
