I taught my daughter to drive in my '62. 327 with the SM420 4-speed and a manual choke. She does pretty good for a 23 year old.
My wife on the other hand..... Her first car was an 80-something Chevy Chevette with a 4 banger and a 4 speed with an autochoke.
She has all kinds of trouble with the '62. The choke completely confuses her and granny low, what's that?? Why won't the truck go any faster in first, and where is reverse? Why isn't the pattern on the shift knob?
I have a PostIt note with the shift pattern that I put on the dash when I know she is going to be driving it. I try to make sure she never needs to drive it though. :-)
