What did you take your drivers license test in?

1958 Olds Super 88 4 door hardtop white with some sorta gold looking interior,it was 1960

 

A '63 Impala SS lowrider, 13" Corvair wires too, and an automatic. I was having trouble mastering the non-syncro first gear or my dad's Chevy truck. I bought the Impala for $300.00 in 1972, because my parents wouldn't let me use mom's new Buick wagon for my driver's test. They hated my Impala...

 

my grandmas '81-'82 6 cyl granada. think was beat but ran and ran well

 

64 Chevy Impala wagon, AC, wire hubcaps, white, blue int., mom gave it to me when I left home, dated, married, honeymooned wife in it, traded it for a crap 65 GTO, wish I had the wagon back.

 

Mine was a 1967 Plymouth Belvedere? man that was fun takin the test in and it was my first car.

 

1937 0lds

 

My brother's 61 Falcon.

 

Here is what I took my test in, my first car..

 

On my 16th birthday in a 69 Camaro. 307 2bbl automatic. Got a ticket on the way to the DMV.

 

1949 dodge bussiness coupe with fluid drive .

 

340ci 4 gear 69 Cuda.

 

1957 Olds

 

1967 Impala, 283, Powerglide.
1972 Yamaha DT 250.

 

'68 VW Beetle... yea, sorry. That was Nov '70.

 

Had to take it twice (1966)... The first time was in a '63 Impala 2-dr hardtop. Touched one of the poles in the parking test and failed.

Second time was in a brand-new '66 Nova SS 327 4-speed. Passed with flying colors, then smoked the tires leaving the DMV. Got the stink-eye from the trooper administering the test, but he was already getting in the car with the next applicant.

 

My first car - 1950 Chevy 2 door "Town Sedan". Bone stock: 216, 3 on the tree. Not sure if I got brownie points for having my arm out the window to do turn signals, but I passed the first time. March 1978.

My first test was in my sister&#8217;s first car, a beat up &#8216;53 Austin A40 Summerset. Four speed on the column, lousy brakes, a piece of junk really but my dad wouldn&#8217;t let me drive his car because the insurance was too much (she could drive it because the insurance was something like $25 &#8211; same old). I failed the test because the examiner wasn&#8217;t familiar with the shift pattern on the four speed column shifter and thought I was messing up my shifts, and also because I nearly ran over a cop! He was on a Harley Servi Cycle and was leading a funeral procession by about half a block, no flashing lights or anything. He ran a red light right in front of me so I slammed on the brakes, such as they were. I couldn&#8217;t see the funeral procession because they were out of sight behind the buildings in the downtown core where I took my test and the examiner failed me for it. I made it on the second test but I&#8217;m still bummed about that failure.

1978 Oldsmobile with a chevy 350. That very same engine is between the rails of my 57 Nomad today...

 

1968 Charger R/T......Palmer, ALASKA........in January.....late '80s. Was probably 0* out that day....the test drive gal felt old as my car was the same year she graduated HS....lol...
Still have the car.....

 

My brothers ugly green 67 Buick Skylark.

 

The driving school car. He had a fleet of 69 camaros. Hulk green in color. Musta been a copo.
They were old then, and soon he had Vegas.

Years later I went to a friends girlfriends house, and down the street was a yard full of the 69s. The owner had saved some for his sons to drive. Some were street rodded, and others were beaters.

And I had a gold 69 camaro.

 

Moms 1989 GMC mini van...my POS 1969 porche 912 wouldnt idle

 

1971 Firebird......REAL easy to parallel park.

 

With drivers ed. just had to take writtin test. Passed , no biggie. Years later finally forced to get mc endorsment due to a roadblock ticket (mc cops wanted to let me go, but there was one prick in a cruiser) tester said I leaned too much,lol, 1980 shovelhead.

 

My test was in Indiana in 1958 driving my Dad's new 1957 Buick Super. To my surprise I nailed the three point parallel parking the first try. Thank God for power steering! Fast forward fifty years when I took my 54 Bel Air hardtop to it's first Rod Run cookout. I had not had to parallel park for 40 years but to my utter surprise I could still do it.

 

The family 51 Ford 2dr, flattie, Fordomatic, and in a Buffalo snowstorm.
