Re: First Drove

1976 Ford F250 club cab 1/4 ton full size pickup. The only option was an automatic transmission and air conditioner.<br />About the same time, possibly the true first vehicle was a 1954 International 4x4 step side pickup. Options included a radio, high low range shift, and a power take off drive. Brakes must not have been an option, it didn't stop well.

1957 Volkswagen Bug. No 1st, or reverse. No fuel gage, had a 1 gallon reserve with a lever to open. No heater, just a windshield defogger that barely got it clear. It was awesome on gas. Gas was .119 per gallon. Red color, battery under the back set 6 volt.

Used my pocket comb, tight budget in 1964, and didn't comb my hair much.....wanted to look like John Lennon or was it Paul?

Re: First Drove

'64 Chevy Nova, six cylinder, three on the tree, with a bad throwout bearing. You had to get the clutch just right, or it would buck and stall. The only thing you might call an option was the AM radio. <br /><br />Bought it for $250, put a shaft kit in it, replaced the throw out bearing and put an Earl Sheib paint job on it.<br /><br />It got hit twice(both times while parked), which netted me almost $700 between them. A little bondo, another Earl Sheib job and I sold the sucker for $500. Wish all my 'investments' went so well.

Re: First Drove

A 630 Poppin John Deere tractor was the first thing for me to drive. Had the hand clutch that was so tough to engage that once I got it going I had to put my foot on it and push it to fully engage it.
