Three Generations of Service |
Farm boy, grew up in the 50's and 60's. Driving tractors before I hit double digits, usually the '49 John Deere B. Also the neighbor's (tenant, lived in my grandfather's house) '50 Ford pickup. Flathead 6, 3 on the tree. Growling out through the fields cutting green corn with a corn knife to feed to the cattle. Officially in 1965 in some sort of humungous Pontiac land yacht. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

69 C10 (straight 6 and Powerglide), 59 F100 (292 and 3 on tree) and late 50s Ford 660 or 661. I think. The C10 is long gone. I’m told the F100 is around somewhere. The tractor is still in the family. Nothing like that front end lifting up to teach clutch management, -- I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is.

About a 1965 Pontiac Tempest, the drivers ed car. My wife too. She's been scared ever since. Not because of the car, but because of the teacher. Schoney (Schoenoft. He was also one of the football coaches. A good guy to be on the right side of. Man did his swats hurt. He was an ex Marine drill sargent, didn't take any crap from anyone. We had lots of advantages, one day we had to drive up to Miami University for some obscure reason. Schoney scared the crap out of the girls, not the guys who knew him. First lesson, show proper respect or die. Oh, it was a Pontiac Tempest slant 4, with the one side of a 389. He had a brake pedal, too. Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

1st powered vehicle was a Farmall H. 1st car was a 1960 VW bus. The slowed car I have ever driven. 1st was good for 12, 2nd 23, 3rd 35 if I remember right. Got it up to 70 down hill once, pegged the speedometer! | |||

The Constable |
Farmall H tractor when I was 14 or 15 the summer I worked on a local farm. Learned to drive with my Dad in his then new 1966 GMC pickup. Six cylinder, three on the tree. Got my license and immediately had a fifty dollar, 1957 Chevy four door sedan. Another 6 cyl, three speed on the column. So REALLY learned about driving with the 57 Chevy. | |||

Can't remember exactly what year it was, but either a '77 or '78 Ford F-100, with a 3-speed manual on the tree. It was a straight 6, 300cid, IIRC. “I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” | |||

Wait, what? |
Buddies 1963 Chevy Bel-air. What a tank it was. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Mine was a GMC 6000. Powered by gasoline and swear words. Everything else practically drove itself after that. | |||

Not really from Vienna |
1963 VW Variant 1500N “notchback”. Dad taught me. I remember him telling me “This car does not have a hinge in the middle of it” and “having the right-of-way doesn’t do you any good if you’re dead”. | |||

Well, I learned to drive stick in my friend's '68 Corvette. While that may sound strange, the horsepower kept the engine from stalling during mis-shifts. | |||
