1964 Chevy Impala and a 1965 Corvair with my dad. Took the drivers test in the corvair (Easier to parallel park!). At school (yes my school still had driver's training classes!) we learned in 1970 Olds, I think it was a Cutlass. Learned to drive a stick in a 1969 MGB on the way home from buying it.

A 53-54 chevy while my father was a camp director in NH for a boy scout camp. It was a 3 speed on the column. also learned to drive a boat the same summer and water ski. the best part was dropping cherry bombs into the double hole out house's when one side was occupied.

Family car I learned with for the street was a 53 Kaiser with 3 on the column
and overdrive. My first car was a run out 57 Ford that I got to replace nearly
everything on before I moved on to something newer.

I learned to drivein a 1951 F3 utility body Ford truck with a creeper gear trans, Dad would send me to the gas station to fill it up every Sunday after church, I was 11 at the time, the first car I drove after getting my licence was a 1949 Plymouth 2dr with 3 on the tree. Boy that thing wouldn't start if there was a cloud in the sky within 50 miles.

I learnt on a DKW junior, 3 cyl 2 stroke, 3 speed on the column. my dad had two of them because we had 5 kids in the family and needed two to go anywhere together.
My first car was a 1960 Ford Anglia ...the British one with the "z" back window, which I inherited from my brother in law. it was lowered and and had "Fat " tyres and welded rims and was an absolute blast to drive. That little 1200 engine used to rev to 9 thou. It broke often!!! I loved it

I purchased my fist car from my neighbors grandmother. A 1966 comet cyclone gt with a 390 hypo. Red with white stripes, it had about 80K miles and was all original. Wish I had it now in the same condition it was then.

1953 Ford Custom, had a flat ford V8, my dad built this car when I was 12 and saved it for me, turquoise blue, blue and white interior, milk shake stain on the trunk, 3 on tree with overdrive. Put Goodyears with the white lettering ($10 apiece used) put a coil spring set up with airbags-jacked up the rear, side pipes. Blew the transmission the first week I had it and virtually ruined the car in about 2 years
