I also learned on a Farmall M.
But when we went to town, I learned to drive the 47 Chevy pickup. My first car was a 56 Ford Fairlane 6 banger with 3 on the tree.

I honestly don't remember what I learned to drive in 
it was either my friends first Ford F350 or my dad's Country Squire Station Wagon 
My first car that I actually wanted and went out and bought was a Maroon 72 Chevelle I bought it from a a friend who said someone had out a 350 LT1 in it. At the time I didn't even know what an LT1 was, all I knew was the car hauled arse

My first car wasn't cool, it was a black 49 Chevy four door that I shared with my mother. 
I was 15 and she drove it during the day to work and I used it at nite to go to work and on dates. It had an old 6 banger with 3 on the column.

The difference between men and boys is the cost of their toys!!
I traded my SL70 Honda and $25 for a two door "63 Impala when I was 14. Changed the engine and painted it before I was 16 and able to drive it. In the meantime I learned to drive in a '59 Impala wagon.
I learned to drive in My fathers 55 chevy pickup. It was wrecked, we found another for parts, I moved all the body parts from one to the other and got it back on the road. My father gave it to me for my first vehicle. It was my high school cruiser.

Like some of y'all I 1st learned ta drive on a Allis Chalmbers tractor. (That is iffn the crank didn't tear all the skin offa my hand tryin ta start it.)
I then bought a nice 49 Studebaker pick up. This was my driver for some time. I sold it and had 3 vans before the 1st car came along. 67 327 4spd Camaro... sold it for a 383 slapstick 4spd Cuda.... then big 4wd trucks graced my muddied up world until I decided to take a load off of my weekly breaking of truck fund and buy a vette. Since then my life has been lower, cleaner, and a lot less abusive.... Life is Good!!!
