Mine was a Datsun 310GX 5-speed and slow as hell but great on gas.

I'm certain it was a Pinto wagon but I was also driving my grandmother's 74 LTD before I had my license (with my mom in the car) about the same time. Apparently I did very well and got to drive around town often. Good post! Made me remember that little detail in my life.

my first car was a 63 4 dr. Belvedere that I got for $15.00 slant 6 push button auto. I beat the hell out of it and could not kill it. that's why I have stayed with MOPAR. some other makes I have tried do not hold up. I have a 65 satellite that is being worked on now. MOPAR or NO CAR. I have not killed one yet!!

i was driving tractors on the farm by age 8-9, 58-59, or so. 2cyl john deere's called johnny poppers, putt-putt-putt. lol. 6spd trans with a hand clutch which i could drive standing up bringing hay bales or wheat or oat sheaves up to barn and taking empty trailers back for loading. the first auto would of been a 50's dodge truck on the farm only around the 60's. around age 13, 63, when mom and dad went somewhere for the day me and a neighbor would take moms 60 impala and drive the back roads.
-good question and like meeps says thanks for the memory, lol.

I learned to drive in a 73 satellite sebring that my father won in a church raffle. My son took his drivers test about 4 years ago in his 69 Coronet. The guy at motor vehicles told him he has some big balls.

1973 B5 blue Dodge Dart with a 318/auto that was given to me from an uncle, springs through the trunk and all lol.

Around 1975, I learned on my parent's 1964 Dodge Polara. It was a 4 door, 318 c.i. automatic that served as the sole family car for 5 of us. A little bit later on (1977) I was trying to get a part time job at a local car dealership while I was in my last 2 years of high school (aka the Work Study Program). I had to know how to drive a clutch to get the job, and I didn't. So a buddy who already worked for the dealership taught me on his 1969 Charger.

an emerald green 1979 Lincoln continental...I was 13 and we'd go with my friends dad to work (trucking company). We'd haul *** all thru the industrial park while he was loading his truck. That was fun.

56 Plymouth Sports Coupe was the first car to drive behind the wheel at around 8. Started 'taking' the 63 Dart /6 3 speed to go mow lawns at 13 until dad noticed the extra few miles each week. Took driver's ed in 67 and was getting there using a 66 Belvedere and parking around the corner. The instructor noticed me getting out of it one day and told me I had better be careful and not get a ticket too. The DE car was a 67 Belvedere so I was in my element lol
