1997 Olds LSS |
The story was reported here:
The average age of vehicles on America's roads has reached an all-time high of 11.4 years, according to the market research firm Polk. And that average age is sure to keep climbing, the firm said. ... In 2002, the average vehicle was 9.6 years old. In 1995, it was 8.4 years.
