Original miles and miles are the same. A '57 Chevy with 60k miles and 60k original miles are identical. From what I've teased out, it dates back to when odometers stopped at 100k. The titles would have a space where you could state that the miles showing on the odometer were not the actual

They used to do without any real significant oil back when? Say 1800s? The only difference was the size of the population. That will be the cause of chaos since oil bred the population. I expect I only have 20 years left and with my luck, it will happen before than. Sorry. Just my 2cents
