My parents were the same way. They started on a department store card way back in the day and have worked their way up ever since.
At one point a credit card company (not sure which one) actually granted them unlimited credit! Of course my dad called and had them reinstate their old limit. Having too much available credit compared to your income is bad for your score.
They have purchased cars on their credit card before. The car they wanted was on the lot so they called to get a bank transfer from investments to checking. It was going to take about 2 weeks so they just parked the purchase on the card and paid it off as soon as the check came in.
