OK folks. Name the year, make, and model of the oldest car you remember driving. This doesn't mean the one your Dad let you "drive" while you sat in his lap as a child. You must have had total control of it. Include your approximate age at the time too.
For me:
Age: Around 14
Vehicle: 1966 GMC Pickup 3-speed on the column (Grandfather's truck).
Side note: I also drove my grandfather's McCormick Farmall Cub tractor at an earlier age. This tractor was probably built in the 50's.

Not counting the tractor I drove in Maryland, I think the oldest car I've driven was a 1959 Jaguar XK-150 drophead coupe with a non synchro first gear. It was my first car.
Actually, now that I think of it, I learned to drive in my mother's Nash convertible. I think it was a 1950 model.

1963 Chevy Impala (not blinged)
Age: ~16
That thing was fun too. Built/rollerized 350, Posi...
It would literally sit still and smoke the tires. It was my first car.
