what car did you learn to drive in?

Bright red 72 chevelle that I crashed 4 months later ,

 

in 49 my uncle would let me sit in his lap and steer his 47 Packard when we went to his string of drug stores. He also had a produce business and let me drive the studebacker (?) pu on the area that he had a building, later I got to drive a Chev PU on a farm of friends of dad. Next door our neighbor owned a construction company. They put blocks on the cats so their kids could learn to drive them, I was included. Western co. Best time in my life

 

'64 nova that my dad and I put in a small block in.

 

my dads 2002 dodge 3500 custom with a 6 speed 500hp and almost 1200ft-lb of torque one bad ass truck and it thought me that i can drive just about anything

 

bit over 12 yrs old - Dad's 47 Nash. Next year got a job shoveling cow crap at a dairy in town - job included driving an F5 truck full of the crap down to the river to dump it in neat piles - did this all summer long for two summers. By that time I was old enough to get an Idaho farm license (daytime) and started driving more F5s hauling peas into town.

First car I owned was 48 Merc coupe...seemed tame after those big-arse Fords

 

My dad's old 62 falcon wagon. 170 and two speed fordomatic. But he kept switching me up with his isuzu land rover. Almost crahsed the rover, then he decided it was best to stick to one vehicle. My immediate response was "Falcon please!"-dd

 

Started in my brother who was in the Navy's 1968 Road Runner ...and took my driver's test in my other brother's 1970 Mach 1 Mustang.....I have been Hot Rodding ever since..My first car was a 69 Camaro in 74 .......

 

My 51 Chevy Deluxe. My very first car. 3 on the tree with a 235.

1957 Porsche Speedster. Lucky kid!!!

 

47 willys jeep

 

Started gear jammin' in a 1930 Model A 'gas ration special' pickup, converted by my dad from a sedan. 1945...., next was a 1946 John Deere tractor.

 

66 VW beetle .....kinda like a bit go-cart with a shifter . Wasn't allowed to get my D.L unless i could drive a manual trans , no wussy automatics around here

 

I was 9 years old when my Dad taught me how to drive in our 1953 Nash. The Nash had a stick tranny and we were pulling our boat trailer at the time. It was still a few years before Dad taught me how to back a trailer. My Dad was a pretty cool guy. He taught me a lot about cars and life. I sure do miss him even after all these years.

1964 390 thunderbird

 

51 Chevy 2dr sedan which was my first car. Learned in low and reverse as there wasn't enough room in the back of the house to make a circle! Eventually put a Fenton Shift Star 200 floor shift in it. Still can't believe the size of the hole I had in that floorboard when I got done with it. Jeez, what memories.................Dennis

79 caprice classic wagon,learned stick in a triumph spitfire.First time I hit 100mph was in the caprice fond memories of that"don't tell your mother"day with my pops.

 

Mom's '67 Plymouth Fury wagon and Dad's '74 Ford F250 . The truck did wicked burn outs the wagon was a great snow machine. Only ever driven Fords or Dodges till now. Rob

 

learned to drive and use a clutch on my grandfathers 1950+- Farmall Cub, Learned to drift in my sisters 61 Falcon

 

'51 Dodge, the passenger half of the windshield was missing and you could see the ground through the trunk floor but I was free. It would start on the last dying gasp of the battery and it taught me how to keep it running.
Years later my four teenage daughters learned to drive a stick shift and before I ever let them take a car out alone I made them get out the owners manual and change a flat tire.

 

lol uhmmm I was about 9 yrs old and it was a 1980 ford currier pick up truck.. lol im only 36, but my first car was a 1939 ford four door deluxe after that a 1965 mustang. now a 1931 model A

 

1962, white impala, 4door, powerglide. no PS or PB but it had AIR! interstingly, it was a car bought new in dallas texas but my dad bought it for me in michigan for $190.00. we later moved to texas and lo and behold, there's Friendly Chevrolet where my car was sitting new way back in 62.

 

'41 Plymouth Special Deluxe coupe, no radiator, brush painted black, dead battery. Had the young kids in the neighborhood push start me, and I would drive it up & down our deadend street until it would get hot - stop and do it all over again. Spent the summer of '68 learning to drive it and scraping 25 years of gluck, tire and gravel under it...that was one great summer.

 

My dads 3/4 ton 78 chevy pickup. The "brown bomber" as my friends and I called it in high school.

 

I am only 31 years old but my first drive was in my truck that I bought when I was 15, a 57 ford f-100. My dad drove it home for me when I bought it and took me out one day in it and stopped abrubtly, got out and said ok, drive. I stalled it once but took off and got the feel of it very nicely. It turned out to be my car throughout high school. He did mention to me that the clutch wasn't nearly as touchy as a new car but I didn't know.

 

A 51 Chevy pickup that was a field running when I was a kid. When I got my permit it was my dads 64 T-bird and 68 Ford F 100.

 

Our local drivers training car was a 1949 chevy 4 dr. with a 3 on the tree.

The frist car I drove over 100 mph was my dad's 57 Olds Fiesta wagon...I was 14 years old. There is a story behind that ride but we'll save that for another time.
