Dated a girl in HS (early 60s) whose dad had a late war production 46, I think, Willis. I was the only kid he ever let drive it because I could deal with no synchronization in any gear going up or down. Had to double clutch or crunch. Really fun cruising the drive in.

I'm English but now live in San Diego. Back in the day, in the UK, it was unheard of not being able to drive a "manual" car! Automatic cars were concidered something of a luxury. Pretty much every one took their driving test in a manual. In fact, you could take the test in an automatic, but that would only license you to drive those cars. If you wanted to get a manual transmission car, you had to re-take the driving test, but this time in a manual. I found it really bizarre when I moved here (15 years ago), and realized that the majority of people could not drive a stick shift!

Mom food is always good food. I used to drive/own a Mack B61 with a tri-plex trans. three sticks. Took a while but once I got it was smooth sailing.
