What did you take your drivers license test in?

I learned to drive in my Dad's '53 Olds 98 town sedan but I took my test in his just bought '62 super 88 with the 330hp Starfire engine.
Back then they made you parallel park and the cones were shorter than the car.....
I passed but only by one point..
They were rough!
The guy marked me off because someone stepped off a curb on the opposite side of the street on a divided boulevard, that's not even illegal!
My Dad had given me the '53 Olds 98 Town Sedan but I immediately junked it because it had two too many doors.

 

'75 dodge Royal Monaco 4 door with a 440 and blown PS pump damn thing seemed like a mile long and handled like a tank. should have failed in the parallel parking but the inspector let me off with a warning to get it fixed before I came back to town AND DO I EVER MISS THOSE OLD LAND BARGES!!!!

 

I took my test in our "family car":

1969 Dodge Charger R/T SE
440ci "Magnum"; R/T stripe delete; Special Edition (leather and vinyl bucket seats, sport steering wheel,
pedal dress up, light package, deep dish wheel covers, woodgrain instrument panel, hood-mounted turn
signals and C-pillar SE emblem); My family's daily driver in the '70s & early '80s!​

 

One of these. It was my brother's car, no first gear, had to run the entire course taking off in second. Blew the parallel parking. Still passed. I guess the tester was a sports car fan!

 

A 1965 Morris Minor 4 door sedan.

 

'83 Olds Custom Cruiser wagon with a 307. The instructor was impressed I could even parallel park it!

I took my test in a 1971 Gremlin. It was poo brown with the classic "bent in half, fixed with bondo, then bent in half again" hood (pretty much a factory option for those cars). The lady giving the test wouldn't get into the car. She watched me drive around the block and parallel park. I passed, and she didn't have to risk being seen in my car. It worked out for both of us.

 

68 Chevelle

 

1973 - it was a 1961 Falcon, aced it first time out.

1967 Old Vista Cruiser that my parents took delivery of that morning. Clipped a left turn, swung wide on a right turn and backing around a corner but passed.

 

And old Chevy blazer, forgot the year, it was old though.

 

My dad's 69 ford wagon. not to cool in high school , but was great on saturday night. If only that car could talk. Steve

 

Which time?

Auto first time a '68 Falcon Wagon, second time a '67 Chevelle. Chaufer Liscense a 71 Gran Torino. Didn't own any of them.

 

My mom's nearly new '63 Galaxie rag top. It was white with red interior. Only a 289 auto but it was a huge chick magnet!

 

A desk. Took driver's ed so I did not have to take an actual driving test. Another benefit to taking driver's ed was you also got your license earlier too.

 

Brilliant!
