I learned to drive when I was about 10 years old on a Ford with a steering column mounted manual shift. We lived in upstate NY at the time. In 1960 (age 11) we took a trip out to Yellowstone National Park and my parents let me drive some in Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming. Quite the kick for a young kid at the time. Looking back on that now, I fiind it kind of crazy that my parents would have let me drive at that young age, but they did.
