First car I ever STEERED was a 1965 Ford Falcon Futura 2 door sedan. 170, Cruise O Matic three speed, sitting in Daddy's lap, because my five year old legs were nowhere near the pedals. lol

I believe it was an Austin....hard to see when your lil' brother is sitting on the hood.
71 Ford Ranchero
I'm sorry, but I thought that was a girl on the hood at first look. Anyway, a 71 Jeep CJ5, in 1974 or so.I believe it was an Austin....hard to see when your lil' brother is sitting on the hood.

63 Comet 3 on the tree, in my uncle Hoberts lap at age 7 I believe, I drove it on my own that same year, about a month after driving it on a lap, wow, I was up in Michigan during apple season
1968 f100 2wd 6cyl 3 on the tree. Started by riding on my dad's lap at 10 and by 11 i was driving it. I had a hard time depressing the clutch all the way and would grind the gears sometimes. Awesome memories
yes, that truck had a strong clutch spring, I was about 11 when I started driving the farm owners truck to the strawberry field and it was all I could do it seems, great memories you reminded me of.
1970 Beetle with a fiberglass Meyers Manx body on it my dad built.

64' Covair for me. Bucket seats, 4 speed. It was a "hand me down" from my mom. I drove that thing all through high school.

A late 70s or early 80s Olds delta 88...
1953 Dodge P/U and 1953 Dodge 4 door both blue. Before I started to school my Dad would get me started on the M&M tractor and step off the back and follow me in the truck a mile down the road from my Granddaddy's. When I got where I was going I would just push the switch in to stop it. Joe
My fathers 1964 Chrysler New Yorker, but we were given a 64 VW Bug for everyday. The Bug had the cloth sunroof and was painted white with gold spiderweb in the hood insets.

My uncle taught me how to drive in his 74 VW camper bus... He was an Old hippie I can't ever remember him not smoking weed at the same time when he was driving or teaching......

Yeah it was slow stick shift and sat over the front tire so the geometry going around corners was a bit different... That and the cloud of weed swirling around my head while I'm trying to drive for the first time LOL...
