I passed mine in a 1956 Buick Century four door hardtop. No air, no power brakes and no power steering.

you did have an advantage over me though......


two more windows to roll down to keep the car ventilated....

but my brother and I only paid $5 for the truck.....that's what it cost us to unload all the garbage the farmer had put in there over the years at the local dump....
