Driving my Boyfriend’s 1956 Chevy - First Time Driving An Old 4-Speed

Don’t judge me too hard. This was my FIRST time driving my boyfriend’s 1956 Chevy. It’s got a fully rebuilt 350 with lots of hop-up parts and an old sloppy 4-speed. I had a lot of fun driving Hank but got frustrated when I couldn’t do a 3-point turn without stalling. Instead of being defeated, I jumped back in and drove it back to the shop! I feel way more confident driving this car now. It’s a HANDFUL.

Cool girl. No gaudy jewelry and not all full of tattoos! She likes Hot Rods and too! What a keeper! Yah car is cool too.

[@stevemenold6095]

Love her smile when she crank that 56 up, she’s a keeper ! 🇺🇸

[@RebeldryversGarage]

Driving an old car with a mechanical clutch is definitely a different experience than anything modern with a hydraulic clutch. Especially, if it has a touchy race clutch. You did great! All you need is practice, practice practice.

[@larryhullinger4141]

Not to mention it most likely dosnt have power steering or power brakes

[@Robert8455]

You had me smiling from ear to ear. You are just as cute as could be and your BF is so super cool too. Love how he messes with you about the cop...I think he did this stunt before too right? Great job on driving the 66 year old! Perhaps not very precise but the rawness is really appealing to us gear heads. Not much sounds better than a small block Chevy with a little lumpy cam thru open headers running thru a Muncie! No modern car can provide this kind of sensation.

[@Rocknranchman]

I too had a smile on my face watching this video - it not too often to see such a lovely lady driving a hot car! Great job guys! 👍

[@garywilson12]

best video yet, liv i had the biggest smile on my face when you were going through the gears with some throttle down, just put you back in the seat. thats a old school gaser for sure. you get an A+ for driving today, and thanks to your boy friend and hank for a really cool video, i really like watching videos of your adventures together.

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Thank you so much for watching, Gary! 😊

[@jjeremy350]

yeah Liv there we go now thats what I'm talking about

[@floridainjection]

Your joy at conquering driving the 4 speed was cool to see. It really made my morning.

[@kennyrichard2971]

Liv is a amazing Hot looking girl that loves classic cars and you don’t see that often in today’s women

[@CJColvin]

Exactly mate

[@timothyhays1817]

More today then when I was young.

[@Ford-tv]

That is exactly what I am looking for, I am finding out they are hard to find.

[@flpanhead]

Cuz so many are being brainwashed into thinking the world will be destroyed in 13 years because we drive cars. If we want to keep our cars, we need to fight these people.

[@nmcg2587]

You're a natural and the internet loves you! That thing is a beast - the clutch looks like it's sprung like a bear trap

[@roderickmoyer9851]

Hey you did great driving Hank you looked very happy running it through the gears , you and Danny are a great couple seems like he enjoys helping you with the videos and assisting you driving different rides and what to expect from the ride as always a great video from you guys.. thank you

[@dennisthurston7567]

Thank you for the video. We also have a 56 with a small block Chevy, muncie 4 speed that my wife of 45 years has never been able to drive because of health issues. I'm fortunate to have her! Bucket seats from 2009 Silverado without the headrest worked for me.

[@jomamma1750]

You did fine! The first time you rock an old school 4spd is an experience you NEVER forget. Congrats

[@fred7854]

Hey Liv, I guess you showed Hank who's the BOSS. That was cool to get right back in it and whip him. Your awesome. Take care and be safe.

[@HotRodDave]

Cool 56 I Like Old Hank. Good Job. I was waiting for Danny to do a back flip into the back lol. I have been in that spot with no seat and went for a ride

[@jjeremy350]

cant wait to see some cold starts in the winter time

[@Mike-bb1li]

Never give up! Nice driving!

[@johnelliott7375]

I miss Arizona in the winter season and doing exactly what you're doing but I was doing it 31 years ago and watching you two are bringing back some great memories.

[@tboregard6010]

Same here :only the memory card goes back 50 years, a lot of fun tearing up those open roads, spending the weekend at the salt and verde rivers. Putting rhe beer in the river ro keep it cool, camping and eating pan fried fish

[@Cstoreri]

Back in the states!

[@57torg]

Hank is awesome, reminds me of a 55 Chevy I rode in when I was 19. Thanks for bringing back that memory Liv. Oh by the way, I believe you are capable of driving anything you put your mind to including 4 speeds. I am a Corvette guy who has modified and maintains two old ones. A 1978 C3 and a 1988 C4 and I put Tremec 5 speeds in each. When you got it on with Hank it brought tears to my eyes the rest of the video including now. Thanks again

[@MarcBchannel]

Wow! That car firing up and idling was music👍

[@rodvaughan8628]

You go girl. Sounds good.

[@johnelliott7375]

I love watching you and your look on your face running the gears, his face is priceless also knowing that you are going to enjoy the ride! 😉👍💪

[@MayhemAndGridlock]

You look like you had so much fun driving the car. Awesome video as usual. Keep them coming. Peace!

[@jeffpbillings7698]

Super Hottt girl and a cool car. Life just does not get any better than this.

[@CarsandCats]

Liv, this brings back memories of letting my girlfriend drive my '71 440 Duster with a RMVB 727 while I sat on the floor. She went wide open in 1st gear and then threw it into reverse which sent me into the dash!

[@stevehaken]

Liv's reaction to the bang shift - priceless!

[@outlawz4210]

Wild ride so happy for you liv keep up the grind 💯🔥

[@chriskayakq-ster7264]

You're smiles are contagious! Loved this video killer shifting putting the pedal down!

[@ericruud4412]

Nice driving Liv! Looks like a lot of fun driving those old cars. Looking forward to seeing the Tempest on the road.

[@chadsstuff925]

very cool ride, u guys look to be havn lots of fun together, cheers

[@bennybegay3679]

Good job!! You did great!! I learned to drive my first standard at 9 years old. 51 now. But I'm proud of you!! Peace!!

[@37233623]

i like her smile when she starts it up awesome !

[@Junkers024]

thanks for sharing the fun your smiles say it all

[@rlh4331]

Great to see a smile on a young person's face banging gears. I still get one in my 57 doing the same !

[@michaeltoone2305]

I admire your love for classic hot rods. I’ve been working on hotrods for over 40 years.

[@terryeustice5399]

That was hot. The steering looks manual. And a great job on first time 4 speed. Thanks for sharing!

[@Michael-rz7ic]

Good job in the 56! Brought back many memories, I had a couple 55’s & a 57’ Chevy in high school.😊. Oh yeah, I was born in 56. Sweet car, and gal too!❤

[@northcackalacky4694]

I would rather have that really Fun 56, than any car at the 2022 Sema Show!! Fantastic car!!!! 💯

[@bobbysmith8120]

Great job 👍👌💪🇺🇸 from Alabama 🇺🇸 watching 👍

[@goat4444]

Love the shifting and pedal work! Nice job!

[@robertpoore7604]

You were smiling from ear to ear. You handled that 4 speed and clutch great. Impressed that you could push that heavy clutch pedal in with your small stature. Nice job young lady.

[@realemonful]

I learned how to drive in a 63 plymouth with a 3 on a tree when I was 7 years old, mind you it had a slanted straight 6, but still, I don't think many people could say that. Not even 30 year olds could do that today

[@MrChevyLover1]

Slayer camaro! we're not worthy 🙌 we're not worthy 🙌 Miss this guys adventures.

[@grayghost75]

Very nice to see you so happy 😊

[@scottmcguffin7768]

Y'all need to make a short clip of her bangin gears and rock'n you back'nforth, that was too damn funny. 😆

[@dzim8822]

This car sounds phenomenal. I love the body style of the 56.

[@markarroyo9266]

God bless you both for having a wonderful life together

[@landrecce]

Great video! So cool to see this couple getting along and having fun! Best part: "Let me just put my seat belt on. 'Click'" haha

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

that smile on your face says it all Liv haha.. love it!

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Haha thanks!

[@boldrbangr9834]

You & Hank rock! Open headers, duh! That '56 is very old school cool, I dig it 😜

[@kcav5374]

You did GREAT ! Brought me back to around 1972 or 3 when a buddy Paul (who'd since passed away) came to my mom & dad's place with 67 Chevelle 396 four speed with the teenager who owned it all excited saying, "You HAVE to drive this car!" I drove it around, saying "What's the big deal?" It was then Paul told me I was taking off in 3rd gear! Car had a 4.88 gear! THE GOOD: I could Steer it by changing gears! THE BAD; It was totally stock except for the 4.88's no good tires, cam, intake or headers! The young fellow asked me to drive it at Detroit Dragway that weekend, I told him "NO, it has nothing in the support a full pass at a drag strip." They took it there anyway with another driver and just like I told him...BOOM! It sat in his yard till he sold it. (would've been a Great candidate for a hot roller cam small block!) :) BTW; I'll be 69 years old next month

[@ccjensen4670]

At 76 years old I've been goofing with hot rods since I was 15...my sole remaining car is a 56 150 utility sedan built in Oakland CA for Pacific Bell Telephone used in Sonoma County for 10 years and sold at auction to the shop that seviced since 1956 and I bought from them in 1979...still have it and take it to local show in Las Vegas. It's now powered by an L-78 BBC that came out of a 69 Chevelle and backed by a six speed and 69 Chevelle 12 bolt posi with old school Alston Ladder bars. Painted black with blue flames and has a simple black interior with plywood and carpet for a backseat..fixed glass and no window cranks...my 44 year old son played back there when he was a baby!

[@davidsantos8206]

Great job Liv. Anyone who has only driven a hydraulic clutch standard, has no clue how much harder it is to drive a mechanical clutch car. Especially when it's a big, old, heavy car, with a high performance engine, high performance clutch and high performance transmission. And it has no power steering or power brakes. Check out my thumbnail. I think you and your boyfriend will like my 57 Chevy 605hp, raised solid axle Gasser. It makes your car sound quiet as a mouse. She is a blast to drive, but definitely not for the faint of heart. But I love her. Thanks for the video, I thoroughly enjoyed it

[@trailerparkcryptoking5213]

You did great and the smile says it all!!!

[@mark_osborne]

@8:23 I almost fell off my dang chair !!!!!!!!!!..😱 NICE job 👍

[@wmw-hv5cx]

looks like you were having a great time and making memories, that's what it's all about

[@johnelliott7375]

Your doing better than most, he should be proud and so should you.

[@donschlegel1972]

you have a great guy there, teaching you and being a friend to you That’s something to be grateful for

[@GnarlySpeedShop]

Couldn't agree more!

[@lw216316]

If Brittany Force can do it - you can do it ! Now this is the fun of the old days. I remember at age 11 sitting on a pillow and driving my Grandpa's 57 chevy down country roads. Mom had an old 50 Plymouth with a 3 speed column shifter - those were fun.

[@rader1175]

You couldn't help smiling and laughing , it was so fun ! They not only shift diff. they drive like a old car. Good job, my sister wanted to drive stick , like a VW bug , back in 73, Dad came home with a 69 Cobra Jet Torino, every stop sign on a incline she left 50' of rubber.

[@johndragon3900]

Never give up. 1956 is my favorite car . I drove 3 of them back in the 60 s

[@ralphh.2200]

She did really well, Beautiful young woman...you were very good with encouraging her....few guys I knew at that age would have made her such a partner...Bravo to you both!

[@stevemenold6095]

Thank you for making my day, you guys are awesome

[@user-ji3op6sk8o]

My dad’s name was Hank. What a name for a car! Love it!

[@edwardwheeler2527]

[@timferguson1526]

You are so cute changing gears. You obviously really love this stuff!

[@ronaldolweiler7745]

My wife was 5ft 4 at 115 lbs , she drove my straight axle 396 , 4 spd 55 gasser all the time , she passed , im 60 and still own and drive it . Built it in votech in 1978

[@johnelliott7375]

Yes sir it was a great time in hot rodding, elegant and simple, but they run good.

[@jeanlawson9133]

You guys 😎 are awesome. thanks for sharing...

[@johnelliott7375]

[@ozahmed4523]

[@mikewright7650]

You are making a MONSTER! and WOW just wow. tuff to pick who is the luckiest in this Video. great day for all.

[@elwoodsummersjr596]

Love watching you !!!!!

[@gregpiecuch3802]

Liv you were a pro by the end of the video. I'm thinking a Tremec for the Tempest.

[@my357mags]

Good job Liv! 👍

[@rdecoster1]

GAAADS That was FUN!!! I don't know what it is about women....Every girl, woman, lady, no matter what age, size or hair color has to have the seat so far forward their nose almost touches the windshield. It is Funny!! The last time I seen anyone as Happy and Excited as Liv was kids on Christmas morning!! This is a GREAT video!!!!

[@geraldtate7827]

Yòu did a great job driving that 56 chevy young lady

[@johnelliott7375]

She is excited and she had fun, all that matters. You will be a pro and it won't take you long.

[@cynthiaeastburn3186]

Go Liv! Great job!
