Drivers Test

[Gobird]

Here is a question for everyone on the board.What kind of car did you first take your drivers test in? I took mine in my dads 1961 or 62, not sure about the year, Volkswagen Bus with the sky lights along the sides of the roof and a fold back sunroof.

Joe I made the three point turn around in two points with the Bus

Dad's '64 Grand Prix, lots of fun on the parallel parking test.

 

[LON O'CONNELL]

I was supposed to take it in the 63 Falcon I had bought for my first car, but we (Dad & I) had not finished rebuilding the engine yet. So I became the luckiest kid around because I got to take my test in my Mom's 67 Corvette Stingray 427 C.I. 435 H.P. Tri-Power 4 speed rocket. i resisted the temptations and passed my test. That was the summer of 69.

A 1958 Buick Super. The car weighed 4,500 pounds and was 218" long....I believe longer than any current sedan by far.

That's easy..Dad's new '66 Ford. It was a Galaxie 500 4 door hardtop with a 390 V/8 and all the other goodies! Passed it first time too (even though the back right tire was on the curb after parking!).

 

[RazzFla]

1965 Chevrolet Impala. I have a 1965 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport that I restored this year and drive all the time. Those were the days. Oh, I am told by my 16 year old son you now say "Back in the Day"

 

[Howlee]

That’s a while ago, I know the car was a Rambler station wagon, and think the year of the car was a 61. I think it was the first year they put an aluminum 6 in it. The test was in 64, and I passed. Back in those days on Maui, there was not much to it and no traffic, and one stoplight to worry about. When we think about it "those were the days".

I took my test in a new 1968 Camaro. The guy giving the test made me climd over the console to exit the car.

 

[TbirdMarty]

I took mine in my folks 65 LTD. Shortly thereafter Dad traded it for a 71 Torino GT that we had an agreement on. The agreement was that if I wouldn't start smoking he would spring for a new car when I turned 16. Anybody else out there have any deals like that with their folks?

'59. On the way home my Dad and I stopped at a used car lot and I bought a '54 Ford for my first car.

Gobird,
