What was your daily driver in the mid 1960's

[Dave Casey]

Didn't get my license till 71, but in the late 60's I rode around my Mom's family's farm which was across the road from my family's house in a Model A cut down. That is a radiator, cowl, and driveline from a Model A , with a wood box bolted to the frame to sit on and just frame rails and rearend behind you. Basically take the hood ,fenders and back off a car and you have it. It was a blast, 100 acres of fields and dirt roads to drive on, drift around, and yes that is how i learned to power shift. Got drain oil from the local garage to keep it full of oil.

When I hit the road in 71, 64 Ranchero 6/auto. After a few months,bought a wrecked 65 falcon 289/4speed, put the entire drivetrain, front spindles, everything under the ranchero and man I was livin' large.
