    I bought a '77 Vega when I was 12, we live on a private drive I drove up & down on. Eventually put a Buick V6 in it, but never finished it before I bought a '71 Camaro when I was 16.

    After steering on old farm roads and the highway for a couple of years, I learned to drive the '46 in my avatar when I was 11 or 12. Got my DL when I was 14 1/2, and was raising hell in my 327 '57 sedan delivery at 15. Good times!

    Dad's '55 Chevy mordor with a 265 V8 powerglide.
     
  19. I'm betting a lot of you don't recognize what this car is.
    My dad taught me in this, his pride and joy. First 4 speed stick I learned on.
    I think this picture was taken around the date he bought it new. 1958 Sunbeam Rapier Series 2 Chassis # A3804978 LCX.jpg
     
  20. I want to say Hillman, but the grill and the fins throw me off... Maybe a Singer?
