^^^^ I always loved the look of the 65-7 Impala FB and even the 65-7 Ford FB. Some days I am tempted to raid the piggybank and go get one!!
 
1973 Dodge Monaco Wagon
B5 Blue with woodgrain and a 360.
Actually it might have been a 400...

1970 Chevy Impala 2 door. Rusted sections of missing floor boards... You could literally out both feed through the holes in both driver and passenger side floors. Covered them with a rubber floor mat.... Lotta great time in that old beater.
 
I remember a farm kid buddy back in SW Ga that went to take is test in the farm truck, it was 3 inches deep in dirt and dust. The patrolman refused to even get in it. Said go to the car wash, hose it out, let it dry 4 days and then come back!!!!! ha
 
Here's mine, never could parallel park it, it was a brand new half a horeseless carriage.

Took my test in 1979 in what was then my mom's 1969 Plymouth belvedere. the attached pictures are after I bought it from her about a year later. I took down a light pole on the highway. Should have fixed it...

All 18.5 feet of a 1965 Pontiac Bonneville - my parents car.
We only had a single-car garage with carriage-house style doors and that Bonneville was too long to fit in the garage - and almost too wide. You had to get as close to the passenger side wall as possible and then you still had to wiggle out of the drivers door and scoot sideways along the wall to get out of the garage. We'd close the doors as far as we could and then use a chain and padlock to secure the doors at night. There was still enough room to get in the garage if someone wanted to - but they would have had to climb over the Bonneville's trunk lid.

'67 Mustang ragtop, 200 6 cylinder, automatic (can you say "dog"?). My Dad was pretty smart - two teenage boys coming of driving age - can't do much racing with such a Mustang!
 
passed my test in a 1972 Gran Torino Squire wagon with a 302 and 3-speed on the tree. I think the tester was watching that more than how I was driving. Oh yea, it had manual steering also.
 
42 years ago, I got my "Class 5" DL in my Mom's 65 Mercury Park Lane. A huge boat but it went pretty good with the 390 4bbl and power everything. A total make-out mobile.

A few months before getting the vehicle license, I passed my "Class 6" Motorcycle license test on my Honda Trail 70. The cones were a snap.

Cool. I had one of those Trail 70's. Man, I put some miles on that thing!

72 Dodge Demon /6.Column shift.
First Mopar and owned nothing but A
Bodies since.
That's where the infection started.
.lol

That was 1979.
 
I think I have to all beat. I took my test in 1964 in a 26 roadster p/u my dad & his best friend drug home. He told me to get it running, licensed & inspected & I could drive but I wasn't driving he or mom's F****ing cars. Pickup had doors, cab, pickup bed with no tail gate & windshield, drive train was flat head 6 banger, manual shift, no syncronizers. Passed with no problems.
 
65 falcon more door. Flunked 3 times then got a haircut and miraculously passed

68 Nova. Jersey had this thing about not taking a driving test in a car with a floor shifter. We had a 67 Mustang at the time. The only friend that trusted me enough was Ricky O'conner..Nova wasn't really his, it was his moms...
