A 1961 Chevy Impala 4 door sedan with a straight six engine and a slipping powerglide transmission. In 1969 I inherited the car. By that time it needed a new universal joint, had a hole in the oil pan, the transmission was still slipping and was just about ready for the junkyard.
Took my driving test in February or March 1954 during a light snow storm about 3 months after my 16th birthday. Vehicle was my dad's 1947 or 1948 Dodge stick shift pick-up truck.
He waited in the registry office while I drove off with the inspector.
At the end of the [successful] test the inspector said [and I quote]: "You've been doing this for a while haven't you?".
Didn't say anything but I had....since I was about 14, with my dad, on the back roads of Berkshire County Massachusetts.
