lol. I remember my first car to hit 100K , a 68 Buick Skylark IIRC. I beeped the horn , and may have had a party that night to celebrate. When I was a kid my uncles Chevy impalla , probably a 60's model hit 100,000 and my dad took me to see it . Unc swore the oil changes were the key, every 2500 miles-3000 miles...wow times have changed.
Of course cars back in the day also rusted out much more quickly , bodies often died before the engines

Oh and then there were the real engines, too much HP for cars not well designed to handle the speed. Many ended up in a guard rail or worse but the Muscle car era , was oh so much fun...
