What's the earliest model truck and car that you can remember your parents owning?

Or a Gremlin. I have no idea why anyone green-lit that little marvel of engineering.

An Air Force buddy of mine got transferred overseas with very little notice,,,
He signed his beat-up Gremlin over to me for a $5.00 bill.

It was ugly as original sin,,,
But it ran and handled just fine.

I ended up driving it for an entire year,,,
It was actually a very nice car,,,
Except for that ugly part.

We had a Buick Pontiac dealership that went south, Dad kept a 70 Catalina. Had this bumper that could stop a train and mom did sheet rock damage with that beast, ramming the garage wall. Good Times.

Two cars, 1965 Mustang (my Dad's) and a 1964 White Corvette Convertible (Mom's). My Mom really loved that car, a few years back when my Mom and Dad passed she still had the original paperwork. To this day I have that paperwork squirreled away. She owned that car from 1964 New until 1971.

1968 Ford F250 with a 390

1970 fastback mustang with a 351W

1949 Chevy 4 door with woven nylon seat covers that would shock the bejesus out of you when the humidity was low.

Isn't that wild?? I had a Chevelle I think it was for 3 or 4 years. Drove the wheels off that thing. It looked horrible but mechanically it was a great little car.

1966 crew cab(4 door) International 1100 4x4. V8, 4spd with Spicer 20 transfer case (not the more known Dana 20) that had only one 4wd position - 4low.

Vaguely remember my dad had a '60s something VW Bus that had a big 6x6 beam as a front bumper and the rear end was jacked up with big tires. Don't know but they were probably in the 33" size. My Mom had a early '70s Ford Pinto that was white with the faux wood paneling. One of my earliest memories as a kid was driving with my Mom in the Pinto and standing up in the front passengers seat. I was probably 3-4 years old at the time. I didn't die so I assume it was legal at the time.
