1974 Datsun 180b.
Also slowest car I’ve driven, only car I’ve driven where 0-100kph in some real life situations is just ‘no’ instead of a time.
Do tractors count? If so, 1939 John Deere. If not, a late 1950s studebaker, probably ‘58 or ‘59.
Ford Sierra. I think it was a 1984 model. Somewhere early 1980s, at least.
It was my first car.
It is the main reason why I’m never buying a Ford ever again.When I worked in a body shop I got to drive a lot of old cars but the absolute oldest was a 1932 Pontiac businessman’s Coupe.
They are beautiful. They are nostalgic and they are a fucking death trap. That kind of makes them more fun.
I own and am restoring a 1968 Chrysler Town & Country Wagon. Sat in my grandpa’s garage for decades, was told I could have it if I got it running. It does technically run now, but needs work before I’d trust it at speed. So my drives are limited to my neighborhood at the moment.
What a land yacht!
1921 Ford Model T - Grandpa used to restore them and taught me how to drive. He also had a Model A but I forget what year it was.
Now see, that’s cool because the controls are actually different. I remember when I was a teenager, I found the equivalent of an owner’s manual for a model T in my public library. And what really amazed me that although it had 3 pedals and appeared to drive like a normal manual transmission car, those 3 pedals actually had different functions. One of those things that got standardized over time I reckon.
Having throttle and engine timing on the steering column definitely throws people off. Funnily enough it was the first car I ever drove. As a child illegally and only in the empty church parking lot by his house, but still! Haha.
Ever see Starsky & Hutch? That red car with the white Nike swoosh on the side? I drove one of those, only mine didn’t have the Nike logo.
It was junk (because it was a Ford, and because when it came to me, it had a bunch of problems) but it was fun to drive and I got $200 more than I paid for it when I sold it, though I paid way more than that in fuel as it got like 8MPG.
Torino.
1953 Ford Prefect
1972 Ford Courier
A 1972 Ford Escort.
A 1988 Toyota hiace van. It was mine and older then me.
1930’s tow truck, in operating condition. Oh that was interesting.
1973 Ford Maverick sedan. It’s my dad’s, his parents bought it new.
'58 Impala
'91 Subaru Loyale.
I have ridden in a Ford Model A before, but I was like 9 at the time.
