Absolutely. The parents of a minor can, under certain circumstances, be held liable for what that minor does. If the minor gets sued, you man also get sued.

Do you need liability and collison coverage on a 10-year-old car that is driven by a 17-year-old?

You must carry liability. An old car can cause as much death, injury, and destruction as a new one. Make sure you carry enough liability insurance to cover the value of your assets, which you could lose if, god forbid, you daughter seriously injures someone in an accident. But carrying collision is doubtful on a car that old. If it's only worth a few thousand dollars, you may be willing to assume the risk.

In whos name should a new car be titled to limit potential liability when the driver will be a 17 year old but the buyers of the car are the parents?

I don't understand what you mean by "limit potential liability". Parents are liable for anything a minor does regardless of whose name the car is in. If the parents are seeking to escape liability for accidents when the child is no longer a minor, then titling the car in the minor's name would be the way to go. This does assume they're comfortable with throwing their no-longer-minor child to the wolves.
