First vehicle was a 1976 Ford F100. 6cyl with 3-speed on the column. No power anything. No ac. No radio. Zero options. Cost my dad $2300 from frontier Ford in Lewisville. Brand new. They had to give him a rear bumper so we could pull the boat.

My first car, 64 Falcon, 2-door, 260 V8, no AC, three-on-the-tree. I had actually forgotten about having to unstick the shifting links! Great memories!

FIL used to say it was just the bushings wore out. I'm thinking it was more of my gouging on it. And popping the clutch, which I'm sure none of you did back in the day.

Three on the tree!! My dad had a 57 Chevy Big Window. Scooped out fender to carry the spare tire right behind the cab. Floor starter and heater was a box hanging from the dash with a door to open for full heat. Loved that truck.

I drove my dads F100 3 on the tree. Gun racks in the back and bird shooting after school. Back when us boys weren't pussywillows.

Learned to drive on a 3 on the tree. Then had a 76 Ford F100 with the straight 6 and 3 on the tree...

I had a 64 Ford Falcon 2 door hard top in high school with a 4 speed, 289 V8, Edelbrock High Rise Manifold, with headers. Fun Car. I wish I had kept it but I sold it and bought a Road Runner. Also a fun car. Those were the days when cars sounded like cars.

Never even seen one in person, but always thought it would be cool to drive at least once.
