My Dad used to keep his cars for about 10 years before replacing them.
Not intentionally it just worked out that way.
In my lifetime he had the following all purchased new except where noted:
1958 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon
1968 Ford LTD Country Squire Wagon
1978 Oldsmobile Delta 88
1990 Plymouth Grand Voyager
For a short while we were a 2 car family as well:
In 69 my Dad bought a used 1959 Chevy Impala with 3-speed on the column. (there's that 10 year thing again) The wheel fell off one day and he got rid of it ... would love to have that car today.
For awhile we also had a 1976 Chevy Station Wagon that was purchased used as well
