Silverado Reaches A Million Miles
Frank Oresnik’s trusty pickup truck passed the 1 million-mile mark with a camera crew filming the event, and a public-radio audience listening in. Oresnik lives in Catawba in Price County, he passed the million-mile mark Friday in southeastern Wisconsin while on his way back home.
This is a great accomplishment for the silverado line, as the commercials say “Like a Rock”. Well this sure puts those words into stone. Oresnik plans to aution off his prize vehicle on ebay to itchy car collecters around the world waiting for this one to come on the floor.
He was on County Highway V southeast of Fond du Lac. On hand was a film crew from Chevrolet’s public relations and advertising company, and he was speaking live to Robert Siegel, host of National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered.”

You have been through so much with your Silverado now your just going to sell it? why? and dont give me the whole “oh its got high milage” because high milage began at 200,000 miles i would hold on to that truck like it was my first born.. from the picture the body looks good no i take that back the body looks great, you have all OE wheels from what i can see. even the center caps are there. you just seem like someone trying to get thier name in a book or museum just so you can say you did, i would want to be buried in that truck.. bla do what you want but your going to miss it and if you tell any one “yeah my truck is on it millionth mile” they will look at you like where is said truck.. you might get a look on your face saying “in a garage rotting away…
