Here is a first hand anecdotal story; Our small town had 2 Plymouth dealerships which were a hold over from days when the town was bigger and busier. One of the dealerships had a new Super Bird on their lot for at least a couple of years. Their oldest son was in my high school class and he would break the car out for prom and homecoming and the like. It actually sat outside in back of the dealership for quite some time.

So that car sat new on the lot for several years and was driven ever so often by the owner's son. And maybe others, too.
