A white, 1988 Chevrolet Beretta.

How about you?

I thought your father was an "Oldsmobile man."

I have no idea.  My school had driver’s ed.  The class lasted for 1 quarter, and you drove in various situations for a total of 8 hours.  If you passed the class, you could go down to the DMV and trade your certificate for your license on or after your birthday.  So since the car was the school’s, I have no recollection of the vehicle at all.

What colors?

Metallic Purple. Loved that car.

Called her Ol Purp during our later years.

1995 Ford Ranger, navy blue. It belonged to my dad and eventually my twin sister. I had a brown 1986 S-10 with no power steering and bad brakes. I didn’t think it was a good choice for the test!

I guess, technically I've taken two.  First was a in a 96 Honda Civic.   Second I'm not sure, but if I had to ball park it was a 98 Ford Crown Victoria Interceptor.

Showed up first time in a borrowed 1969 Super Beetle and the state trooper failed the car before I could do anything because he said something was missing from the tailpipe (I just think he didn't want me to take it in such a small car). About a week later I showed up in a 1970 Mercury Montego and passed with flying colors.

 

A 1967 Chrysler Newport just like this one.

Did you have to dock that boat, I mean parallel park that car as part of the test?

Horse and buggy. I don't remember the model of either and don't have pics.

I was in my Mom's 1976 Mercury Comet, 2dr sedan.  That was the first year for pollution controls and it ran like a 70 yr-old former cross country runner with emphysema.  

 

My poor older sister had to use my parents Pontiac Station Wagon.  She growled the whole duration of driver's ed but my Mom said that when it came time for parallel parking on her driver's test she whipped that ole station wagon into place with no problem.  

Here's one similar to the one we owned, but ours was a tannish/greenish/cream colored base.

Absolutely. I was used to maneuvering our 1968 International Loadstar 1600 flatbed into tight spaces on the farm, so that barge was a breeze.
