Either in Driver Ed or with a parent/licensed adult for the first time. Mine was a 77 or 78 Pontiac Bonneville in Driver Ed in early 1978. doing slalom maneuvers with new Novas was pretty cool too
Probably a '79 Horizon, I'm pretty sure that's the one we had when I got my learner's permit. Being a lifelong car guy I can't imagine that I didn't drive a vehicle before my first turn in the driver's ed car (which, ironically, was also a late '70s Bonneville).
1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham. A local Olds dealer loaned new cars to the school district for the driver's ed program, so we all got to drive practically brand new Oldsmobiles. Actually, my first car was bought as a driver's ed demo, an 81 Olds Cutlass LS with just over 3,000 miles. It still had the holes and impression in the carpet from the extra brake pedal on the passenger side!
1977 Chevy Nova in driver's training class at Mariposa High School. That was back in the pre-Proposition 13 days when California was still rich compared to other states and had plenty of money to provide driver's training for free in high school. So glad I went to school during the late 60s and 70s.
