I did mine in a 1965 Comet 202

 

I had a 64 Monza and I'm still alive.

 

I took the test in my Dad's 60 Rambler American with 3 on the column. It was snowing so my Dad put chains on it and I passed.

 

'68 Dodge Polara.

My kids both took theirs is some vanilla sedan from the school. None of our cars had a center handbrake and all had a hump so the instructors couldn't get to the brake.

 

How's SoCal weather? Where are you staying?

 

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.

 

for me it was a 73 or 74 Ford LTD

 

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.

 

I failed my first test in my mother's 1966 own 67 Mercury Comet. I passed in some unremembered sedan with the driving school instructor.

 

Mom's '56 Plymouth Savoy 4-door sedan (red over charcoal). Flathead 6. 3-speed column shift. Manual steering with 60 or 70 psi (temporarily) in the front tires for the parallel parking test.
