Probably a 63 Ford pickup.

Dad would get us started about 4 or so. Couldn't reach the pedals or shift....but could steer while he pitched bales.



First truck would have been an early 60's Ford Cabover.

Grandpa's 1928 Ford. Better than a go cart. Couldn't hardly see or reach pedals, but managed to not hit anything. Quite a treat for a 8-9 year old kid.

Would have been around 1966 or so.

63 GMC 3/4 Ton with a V-6 and 4 on the floor. It was
GrandDad’s Ranch Truck. I’d drive along in “granny” low gear
at age 6 as he threw hay bales out to our cows.
Was already driving a tractor by then too.

I used that fugger like a skateboard

Get it going pushing it, then drop one knee in it.

That, or i'd set my skinny ass in the bed and ride in it down hill


I feel sorry for all the dudes on here that had to milk cows or tend the worm farm at 5am. I had it made.

1953 International pickup belonged to a neighbor we would cruise the back roads drinking wild Irish rose when I was about 15 years old.

The first thing with an engine that I ever drove was a 60 ton, M-48 tank. Lousy MPG but boy could it go! No beep beep, BLAM!

I took driver training in a 74 Chevy Nova.

The first car I drove regularly was my Dad's 75 Buick Estate Wagon.

The first car that I had to myself was my Grandfather's 67 Buick Electra 225. I only had it for a couple of months-- sold it when I went off to college.

The first car I ever owned was a 78 Black Buick Regal.

First car I drove was Mom's Ford Country Squire station wagon. That thing was a barge but with a 460 under the hood it was surprisingly fast.

First car I bought was a 71 Mustang. Baby blue with a 302 and an 8 track. Pussy mobile.

The first car I drove was my mother's 1959 Oldsmobile 88. She let me drive from her cousin's place in "the country" to the main highway, about 15 miles. I was only 15 (1961).

My first car was a 1953 Pontiac convertible the neighbors gave me. Flathead straight 8, power top, Indian head on the hood lit up with the headlights. I sold that, and got another freebie, a 1953 Ford two door, black and white. It had another flathead, this one a V-8, with Fordomatic. Sold that and bought a 1957 Studebaker Silver Hawk, 289 Studebaker V-8 with a two barrel, Borg Warner automatic. That car went pretty good! I have had lots of other cars when I was young. The best was my 1963 Chevy Impala SS 327 250 hp four speed. The worst probably was the 1964 SS convertible 409 I traded the 327 for. Two four barrels, hot cam, 4 mpg. But it was pretty!

Memories....and then there were motorcycles....
