This brings back some real memories. I was 15 years old. I don't remember the date, but it was in 1957, because my school had just bought a brand new Plymouth with a 3 speed column shift. There was a road, 3rd street, in town, that was very steep. Seemed like it was straight up. Our instructor made us start up the hill and stop and start again. I wonder how long the clutch lasted in that poor car. I was very glad to have had an older brother who used to torment me with personal driving lessons. This prepared me for what the instructor brought on, which was far short of what my brother dished out. JH
