1969 Boss 429 Mustang that my dad bought new from the local Ford dealer known for acquiring the hi-po offerings. He didn’t own it for long though, saying it was awful in stop-and-go traffic and around corners. Wish he’d kept it!
What's the earliest model truck and car that you can remember your parents owning?

Ford County Squire station wagon with 3rd row jump seats. Probably mid 60s
The first new vehicle my folks bought was a 1970 F-100, which is still in my possession. The oldest vehicle they owned was a 1937 Ford pickup that Dad bought for us to restomod together. We got started on the project, then I went to college, and some…body offered him too much money to turn down for it.
The oldest one he kept (which I also still have) is a 1948 Ford 8N tractor.

36 Ford pickup
The oldest that I remember of my folks' was a 1959 Ford station wagon and was the first new car that they ever bought. However, prior to that was a number of pickups, but I can't even remember the years nor brands that they were. I think one was an International, black in color, and was the one I sneaked our and drove while they were out of town somewhere.
As for my own first vehicle, it was a 1954 Ford, 2-door and six cylinder with "three on the tree."
It was green and bought in 1962 when I turned 16. I paid $150 for it and all it needed was a replacement second gear.

My parents always had old cars. Mom had a ‘35 Ford 5 window coupe that I never saw assembled. Dad had a ‘51 Mercury coupe that I never saw run, a ‘57 Bel-Air sport coupe that was his daily driver for years, and a ‘40 Ford pickup that was running, being fixed, running, repeat. All of them are gone now. Truck got sold after he passed since he forgot to make a will and step-mom needed money (that I don’t have). Everything else was sold during my parents divorce except the Bel-Air when dad needed money.

Earliest car I can remember that my folks owned is a’58 Oldsmobile wagon. I do have a a photo of me as a toddler sitting at the wheel of my dad’s ‘49 Oldsmobile torpedo back rocket V8.
My father brought home a 1975 GMC Beau James limited edition model. He was fishing buddies with a local car dealer who got one (not all dealers did) and dad just fell in love with it.
I think it was both a 53 and 54 ford.
