A white '93 Mazda 626. I'd saved up babysitting money for years & bought it for $1000 from my grandma when I got my permit at 15. Took and passed my drivers test in it as soon as I turned 16. I'd already been driving regularly for 3 years at that point. Had been sneaking my parents cars out of the garage in the middle of the night since the age of 13. Scandalous. Had that Mazda 626 until I was 21 and my little sister snuck it out in the middle of the night... and totaled it.
Looks like the oldest might just be from the 1940's?
I was seriously considered driving my Model A to the test... then I thought without seat belts and two taillights... I might just be asking for trouble...
I really liked that 72 Skylark and the 350 4 barrel had plenty of oomph!
Never took a drivers test. I started driving when I was 9. When I turned 16 I drive to the local post office where the local post mistress filled out the form and I paid the quarter. A week or so I got a card in the mail from the State which I cut my license out from part of the card. Always renewed and never moved to another state. Always had a Missouri license. Bwwn driving for 66 years. Never had an accident or been in one. Had a small one when I was 10 and another when I was 11. Murpheys Law says my only accident will probably be fatel so I am extra careful. I have driven in all four corners of the U.S.A., U.K., Mexico and the B.V.I. Sure is different now getting my license renewed. LOL
P.S. I drove a 1936 1 1/2 ton Chevy stake bed truck to the post office for my license.

Reason: Forgot to list the vehicle.

How cool is that!
The only person even somewhat similar starting driving in Fremont CA at age 12 with a license to bring farm produce from the fields to the market... his father was disabled and he was the oldest at the time...
A '63 Ford Galaxy 500. Great car, till taking my sister to drop her off at the Jr. High, months later some fool pulled out in front of me on a rainy, slick street with a souped-up Chevy Nova, and then spun out in front of me. So,with no ABS in those cars back then, my brakes locked, and I did a head-on into my buddies mother's car, going about 35. All this happened right in front of my High School. Car was a wreck, and so was my sister and I.
19??? Chevy, 3 on the tree, 4 door; I honestly don't remember the year of the vehicle all I remember is that I had pillows under my behind and behind my back because I could not reach the clutch, brake or accelerator without them.
PS -- I had been driving since I was about 8 or 9 though because my biological father was a drunk and he taught me how to drive so I could drive him home from the bars when he was drunk and I drove mini bikes, motorcycles and tractors starting about the time I was 6.
Had to use my grandmothers Audi a4 cause we didn't have a car with a handbrake.. I almost failed for going too fast
