I learned to drive in a 1963 1/2 Ford Falcon Sprint with the factory V8 then after I got used it, I was finished with my 1951 Ford and drove it fairly regular. Both were showcars.

I still have my 51 Ford today although its not factory stock anymore.......

I learned to drive on a 65 Mustang, my brother's. My first car was a 65 Falcon, 3 speed. I wish I still had it. It was a good little car.

Pardon my age....a 1947 Plymouth. I had to look under the rim of the steering wheel to see out!

I learned on a 1963 Ford Falcon Futura 3-speed. Boy I loved that car, then my brother learned to drive and he drove it between two trees at one of the County Parks. She was never quite the same after that.

I learned to drive on a 1950 Jeep. We used it as a plow truck and I had to plow as well.

I'm guessing my uncle's farm truck in the field ruts really don't count 'cause I couldn't even reach the peddles. I learned to drive in a 1964 Ford Falcon; learned to drive a stick in a cousin's '64 Stepside with 3 on the column (really easy to burn 'em off - lol). First car I bought was a 64 Malibu - man I loved that car!!!

I learned to drive a stick on a 1974 Plymouth Duster with a 225 slant six and 3 on the tree. After driving it for a few months I cut the car up and built a tube chassis and it was a pro mod drag car running a blown big block on alcohol!!
