Graham Rudd, who turns 65 today, bought the 1936 Ford Popular a few months before started work in 1961.
Rudd did not own the car continuously through the years. He and his wife sold it when they started a family because it was not big enough to hold a child's stroller.
In the 1990s, Rudd met a man at a vintage car rally who talked about his 1936 Ford Popular and its aluminum roof. Rudd realised it was his old car.
"It took me about three years of working on the new owner to buy it back. Considering he knew I was desperate to get it, he was very fair," said Rudd.
Rudd used the '36 Fordu00a0on his last day to give her a run out. The car, nicknamed Henry after Henry Ford, has travelled 1,49,000 miles.
