<VV> Local Corvair - now driver's test

[n5hsr]

August 17, 1974

I took my driver's test in a 1962 700 coupe with Powerglide.  The throttle 
stuck a bit that day so I missed a point on my test.  Overshot a right turn 
when the engine didn't slow down when I let off the throttle.

I even have the registration card and the plates from that car in my license 
plate collection.  Illinois CE 7067.
