A Ford Fairmont (this was in driver's ed) with the horn NOT on the steering wheel but on the END of the blinker. This was around 1979 or 80.

Oh, those hard vinyl seats that you could feel the spring in...

A sweet little '65 Chevy Malibu SS.....orchid in color with white interior. I always thought it was a short little car until I saw one at a car show recently -- they were LOOOOONG!!!! Sure wish we had it now....they're worth some $$$$!

A 1954 Pontiac station wagon...3 on the column. 6" of snow on the ground, which was rare for Victoria. However, as a result of those conditions, I will now drive anything, in any kind of weather. And I still prefer a bigger vehicle.
