No car will last forever, but to keep it going longer I strongly recommend synthetic lubricants in every case (Mobil 1 ATF in the tranny and P/S, synthetic rear end fluid), good quality brake fluid (Valvoline Synpower is a good one), and most especially cooling system maintenance: regular replacement of the radiator, all hoses, and the heater valve before they fail.
When your head gasket does fail, it won't be because of overheating or lube failure and the repair will be much cheaper.
