I have such a vehicle. In recent years, I've been thinking about maybe getting a new vehicle, but heard that they only have automatics anymore. I have since found out different. I hate automatics.
Did it also have that cool bar-graph speedometer like the 1960 Fury did, and the tail fins? Don't think that the 1961 had a Park lever either, I know that the 1960 didn't have that feature. I don't think that the Park lever made it's appearance until the '63 of '64 model year.
Ladies, remember, if your boyfriend can't drive a "stick" (not counting any physical handicaps) you really have a girlfriend . . .
So of course. My current vehicle has a stick. I even know how to "double clutch", not that anyone in a 4-wheeler needs to do that anymore what with modern synchronizer transmissions. (Even my farm tractor has a synchronized transmission). I even have a daughter that refuses to drive a vehicle that's not equipped with a manual transmission.
Yes. I prefer them. The first brand new car I purchased was a completely stripped down Ford Escort. Couldn't afford anything more. I had a quick lesson on how to drive it by the salesman, then he promptly abandoned me in the parking lot. lol. So, I had to learn pretty quickly how to drive it.
I can. I learned on an old grain truck when I was young. I had a manual shift car and I taught the girls in my class how to drive standard during our lunch breaks. I had a few trucks with standard transmissions, but I like to eat and dance sometimes while I drive so shifting is just a pain for me so I prefer automatics. I can drive an old truck with a 3 in the tree as well. Just from growing up on a farm.
Awesome! The one I drove 3 on the tree was my grandpa's old ford. I think it was a 68? It looked kinda like this...
The grain trucks I learned on were like these. I still have these trucks except for the 68 Ford. Good memories, I loved playing in those trucks when I was little. : )
I sure can!! I took driver's ed in high school....waaaaay back in 1959!!!!
it was fun but a little scary at first.....then my very first car, one no one's probably ever heard of!! a 1967 Opel Kadette...!!! had stick....I loved it..........then all the cars I bought after that were automatic......but Im glad I learned; everyone should know how!!!
Do know what it is but never learned. A boyfriend once tried to teach me in a parking lot but I could never get it going and everyone had left so he gave up. Or I should say I gave up.
