Here is mine:

1957 Chrysler Windser. 354 Poly 2bbl 285 HP. PB auto PS,PB, radio.
My Dads' car that he loved. I'm still surprised he let me use it!
This was in 1960.

No pictures of the actual car but it looked exactly like this one, same color and all.
1978 Plymouth Sapporo. Took my test in 1979. The cop was so busy looking around the car that he barely paid attention to my driving!

1964 Buick LeSabre

On November 30, 1964, the day after I turned 14, I got my restricted license in Florida. Restrictions were daylight only, and must have a fully licensed driver in the car with me. Only had to take a written test.

My Dad let me drive the family car home after I got my license. At the time the only car we had was a 62 Dodge Polara 500 convertible, 361 four barrel, pushbutton Torqueflite and 2.76 gears. Also the original wheels and factory wheel covers. Below is what it looked like three years later, with 14x6 chrome reverse wheels. Didn't get a 440 until the spring of 68.

The car I took a driving test in when I turned 16 was a 61 Ford Falcon station wagon, 144 six, three on the tree. Don't have a picture of it, but it looked like this, except it was brown:

Not mine but this car.
1971 buick lesabre.
Test in 1984.

The car was so long and wide it hit both the front and rear pylons for the parallel parking test at the same time.

My Sister shown here in '76, but 2 years later I got mine in the same '69 Fury II. Like parallel parking a bus...

Cuprum-74 · 2024-12-21T21:40:46-0600

Around 1990 with me, my brother and my father. 1984 Dodge Ramcharger, When I graduated high school it eventually became mine. I might get another one.

67Dart340GT · 2024-12-21T21:47:52-0600

Not the car, but this was close:
A 1974 Oldsmobile Omega (about 1981)

Professor Fate · 2024-12-21T21:49:01-0600

It was a while ago...

Seriously, I had a Farm Permit long before I got my regular license, so I could drive a 1950-ish IH grain truck into town to drop corn or grain off at the feed mill.
Not this exact one, but very similar:

In 1981, on my 16th birthday I got out of school mid-day to take my test in my mom’s 1976 Ford Granada, red, 4 door, just like this one.

And about a month later I stuck it face-first into a deep ditch coming off a frozen lake at 11:00 o’clock at night. Car wasn’t “totaled”, but it sure wasn’t pretty.

1995/96 bought it from another member here @turbodart68, also drove on my wedding day.

Beams · 2024-12-21T22:14:57-0600

Y’all are gonna love this. Picture from October 2010.

1991 Toyota Celica GT 4 cylinder, manual transmission. I didn’t choose the wheels, but loved em when I was 16.

Car was stolen shortly after this, and then I bought my great grandpa’s 1986 Toyota Pickup. 4wd, extra cab. I can’t believe I let that truck get away.

Dana67Dart · 2024-12-21T23:46:30-0600

This was the first "car" I drove. It was gravity powered.

This was the second "car" I drove, it was Briggs and Stratton powered all 1/3 HP of it.

I drove my buddy's mom's 1975 Mustang II Ghia to take the test in. Practiced for about 30 minutes and then passed the test. We never told his mom. Sorry Mary and thank you!

RustyRatRod · 2024-12-22T06:37:46-0600

I don't have any pictures, thanks to my ex, but I took my driver's test in Daddy's 65 Falcon Futura 2 door post. Original gunmetal grey with red interior and a red stripe. It musta been a kinda unusual color combo, because I've never seen one since. He later got it painted white and redid the stripe in red. 170 straight six and a Cruise O Matic three speed.

67Dart273 · 2024-12-22T08:43:21-0600

LOLOL. No actual pics, long long gone. 1965, Junior in hi school, driver's training, the local Chev dealer had donated a REALLY decent 56 Chev more door stick on the tree. We also had two old U *** Air Farce staff cars, a black 58 Chev, 6, p-slide, and an ? 63 Stupidbaker. I think I only drove the Stupid once. It and the 56 were both stick

First car I drove some, was Dad's 5 cylinder 235 55 Chev, 2 door waggon. It huffed some oil and you had to watch oil use.

I have to be honest, I don't even REMEMBER taking the driver's test. Would we have done that in driver's training, or would the course have given us credit? I just don't remember

On a serious note, that tractor was more than a handful. Note that it is a tricycle, and that means that hitting bumps, depressions, and ditches means it can yank the wheel away from you. Dad injured an arm once, and it wrapped one of my arms up and I whacked my elbow on the wheel rim. I used to "scoot" up and clamp my knees around the lower part of the wheel, and brace my elbows on my legs
