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

[Spider27monkey]

I was a toddler in the early sixties, my dad was in the Army stationed in Berlin. I certainly don’t remember the car, but my parents had a VW bug that they purchased for a total sum of $5 from another GI.
Several years later my folks had a 68 VW van. The van was the family car that me an my siblings learned to drive in.

Lol I bought a '64 Bug with a sunroof!!!! (Damn I wish I still had that car!) from a room mate -- straight across for the rent she owned me. $75.00 in 1977, 78 ... Somewhere in there. I loved that car. My folks sold it one weekend when I was in Stillwater visiting a friend.

Vw bug. Maybe that’s why I dislike all things VW.

Then we went thru a couple VIP plymouths.

Cars that I do remember that my parents had when I was younger.
1966 Buick station wagon purchased new. It had a skylight/roof window.
1968 or 1969 Pontiac Bonneville convertible, blue, with fender skirts.
Early seventies Oldsmobile sedan.
Also during the time they had the Olds, they had a brown Ford station wagon with the side panels.

I think the reason I do not remember much old cars my parents owned was because they updated almost every 2 years.
Stayed in debt and never paid off a house until my dad died and my mom used life insurance to pay off her house with my suggestion of doing just that.

Bad money smarts for the both of them.
The old truck I remember was bought after i was out of grade school.

I like to own a vehicle until it is absolutely junked out.
I love driving them and see how many miles i can rack up on them.

Opposite of what most people do.
Most want to park it and say it looses value if i put miles on it.

I never bought a vehicle with plans on reselling it.
I would probably be rich if I did purchase with a mindset to resell because I passed up dozens of bargains.
Just did not want it for myself.

1957 Dodge Station Wagon.

This monster of a car had the push-button automatic trannie that was unique to Chrysler products,,,
It also had the rear facing back (3rd) seat that drove all of the cars behind us crazy,,,
My sister and I would sit back there making faces at the following drivers,,,
Dad never understood why he got flipped off by passing cars.

The car was the T in a T-bone crash that totaled it,,,
The neighbor kid bought the wreck from Dad just for the motor and transmission.

As a young kid I just assumed it had a 6-cylinder in it,,,
I mean that's what parents drove wasn't it?

Imagine my surprise when the kid put it in a Bucket-T style hot-rod,,,
The dang engine was a 392 (?) Hemi.

All those years I had bragging rights about having a hemi powered car,,,
And I didn't even know it.
