Irv Gordon, Guinness World Record Holder Who Put 3.2 Million Miles on His Volvo P1800, Has Died
Irv Gordon, who bought a new Volvo P1800S in 1966 and drove it to a Guinness World Record 3.2 million miles, has died. Gordon didn't set out to become a Guinness world record holder. As he told Wired back in 2010-when his Volvo showed just 2.8 million miles-he simply wanted a reliable ride after having bad luck with a brand-new Corvair.
