I know that you will keep this car in excellent condition and do all the 
regular maintenance.  That is the key to keeping a car trouble free.  The 
fact that a 40 year old car requires regular maintenance more frequently than 
a jelly bean is something of which she should be aware.

A coupla things that you didn't mention come to mind.  A set of jumper cables 
and how to use them, lest the Prince of Darkness strikes.  A phone card in an 
envelope marked "For Emergency Use ONLY!" in the glovebox is also a good 
idea.  How about showing her how to jack up the car and change a tire, or at 
least give her a can of Fix-A-Flat?

Congratulations to Ms. Clarici on getting her license.  Will she be looking 
for a project car that she can restore?
