I took my first driving test in my mom’s ‘62 Ford country squire wagon. I’ll never forget the look on the instructors face when he told me to turn the car around on a dead end street with no turn around. I whipped it to the right curb, cranked the wheel, and whipped it around in a circle. When he caught his breath, he said that was great, but I wanted a three point turn. That old woody had the shortest turning radius I’ve ever seen on a big old barge like that. It had a 390 cu. in. Engine, and for a car that big it would crank right along.
