When my grandfather died, we got his 1959 Studebaker. I learned to drive a stick shift on that car. It had what they called a hill-holder brake. Once you had the clutch in, you could take you foot off the brake pedal and the brake would hold until the clutch was released. Great for starting out on a hill so you dodn't roll back.

It had a bench seat and a "three on the tree" shifter. Every girl I dated learned how to shift gears for me so I wouldn't have to take my arm from around her to shift.
