What's the oldest car you've driven?

[SR99]

Sad to say, but I haven't driven a car older than the early 60's. I've ridden in older cars but never driven them. Would love to drive some of the 1930's and 1950's era cars.

If you say so.

Oldest car that I've driven? Probably a 1995 Fiat Uno, and that was in the early 2000's.. lol

But I've been in 1970's vette's.

69' 442.
My favorite. My 91' VW Jetta. That thing was a tank. Hand crank sunroof to boot. If it was not totaled by a stop sign runner. I would still have it.

A real, that is all original 1926 Model T. Looked something like this,




When I was around 15 years old, one of our next door neighbors was "Jack Wentworth" or "Wentworth Motors". This was the Ford Dealership in Albany, Oregon.

Jack had restored a 1926 Ford Model T and one sunny Saturday he had it out and I was in our garage working on my hot rod Model T and he asked me if I would like to take it for a drive?

I said, sure!

So he let me drive it around the neighbor hood for a few laps. It was very interesting as the way you would speed up or slow down was by adjusting the timing, not increasing or decreasing gasoline.

It took some real arm muscles to steer it and it had mechanical brakes, you had to do a little pushing to slow her down.

It was a great experience.

I used to go down to Jack's office at his dealership and talk to him about "cars", (what else?), he was a great guy and always had an open door to me...


Somehow when I was a kid growing up mom and dad never seem to get a picture of my first car. I found it for sale in the newspaper and somehow talked dad into letting me buy it to fix up. It was an old Model T hot rod and we literally did hook a rope up to it and drag it out of a barn.

Looked something like this only with a short, or shallow wooden pick-up truck bed on the back where you see the gas tank on this Model T. Had the same type of tire, windshield, frame etc. Still had the original windshield like you see here and the original Model T wooden steering wheel.



And for what it's worth, I was the only guy in my high school that was "into" hot rods and the only guy with a hot rod.
