Proud owner Irv Gordon has been clocking up nearly 64,000 a year in his cherry-red 1966 Volvo P1800 and it has only taken him 47 years.

"Everyone asks, what’s next?" the 74-year-old said.

"Well, I’ll keep driving my Volvo P1800 to auto shows and taking trips across the country.

"Not much will change. But whether I drive four million miles is more up to me than it is the car.

"The car may be able to take it, but I’m not so sure about me."

According to Volvo, Irv from Long Island, New York, reached the milestone no other individual has accomplished in more than 100 years of car manufacturing last week as he completed his three millionth mile in the same vehicle on Alaska's Highway 1.

"The best way to explore America is by car," Irv added.

"I challenge everyone to go out and see as much as possible. Find your own journey and reason to believe because you only have one life to live.

"No matter how many roads I've been on, there's always one I haven't taken. That's what makes it exciting."
