Los Angeles driver Guy Newmark has achieved an incredible feat by reaching the one million mile mark in his Porsche 356.

Guy has been driving the car for over 50 years on the route to this milestone.

He received his cherished car – affectionately nicknamed ‘Blu’ – as a high school graduation present from his father.

Interestingly, Guy’s father bought the car from its original owner when Guy was just three months old.

The story of Porsche 356 ‘Blu’ and Guy Newmark

Porsche has proudly covered the story of Blu and Guy Newmark on their YouTube channel.

After all, it wasn’t just a proud moment for Guy, but for Porsche as a brand too.

Seventy percent of all Porsches ever made are still on the road today, showing their staying power and excellent build quality

Guy’s story is a perfect example of this, as he has driven his Porsche 356 daily for over five decades, reaching an impressive milestone that few cars achieve.

In a similar story, a man drove his Toyota Corolla for 47 years, reaching 347,968 miles.

Throughout the years, Blu has been a constant companion for both Guy and his father, becoming a part of their family.

Talking about his memories with the car, Guy Newmark said, “When I think about the future with Blu, I can only recall the past, mainly because everything is going to remain the same.”

Only a few, like Guy Newmark or Liam Young, who drove his Land Cruiser 410,000 miles in 16 years, can maintain such a lasting connection with their cars.

However, their love for their beloved vehicles never goes unnoticed.
