hm....he probably barely drove it around...like this guy probably just sat around the house and barely left his town...
i bet he also probably also had another vehicle.
the older generation was much more appreciative of technology..he probably took good care of it... so dont think he just let it sit around

you also never know...what if he had a daughter that he bought that car for back then and she passed away..and he just kept it as a memory.
