Lifetime Warranties

I was listening to the radio the other day and learned of Chrysler's "lifetime powertrain warranty." The website boldly states:
"The Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Limited Warranty is the first of its kind to be offered by any automaker. Ever. Because with this warranty, you're covered, and it lasts as long as you own your vehicle."
This reminded me of Saab's "lifetime engine warranty" from the mid-60's for their two-stroke engines. It states (from page 48 of 'The Spirit of Saab'):
"Saab will repair or replace the engine as long as the Saab belongs to original owner and has been serviced according to the manual."
Granted, there is a difference between 'engine' and 'powertrain' (defined as "engine, transmission and drive system" by Chrysler), but the spirit of the idea seems unprecidented for that time. I did some quick Googling and was not able to find other car companies that have offered any type of lifetime warranties. Does anyone know of one? If not, maybe we can add this tidbit to the list of Saab quasi-first's...
