I'm 39 and remember all of those things; in fact, we have kept all our cordless phones but turned off their ringers and replaced them with functioning rotary phones. We use them all the time, but mostly we just love the ring!
I learned to drive on a standard, and my friend had a truck with a stick shift that we'd run around in.
As for party lines, I only vaguely remember them but I DO remember them. I don't remember talking on the phone until much later anyway.
