    Good work, but you missed a couple:

    the 1967 Opel Rekord was built in Brazil between 1969 and 1992 as the Chevrolet Opala/Comodoro/Diplomata.



    The 1st gen Mitsubishi Debonair was produced between 1964 and 1986 with a minimum of changes:

    The Bristol 603 is NOT still being made--production on this model ceased in 1982 (although knowing Bristol, they would undoubtedly make you one if you asked nicely enough). Bristol now make only the Blenheim (series 3, 3S & 3G), the Figher (incl. Fighter T) and a special order Speedster. That's it.

    @crankyshaft: The Blenheim is known internally as the 603 S4, though it was originally coded an S3 like the '82-'94 Brigand and Britannia. Significant changes included slightly revised body panels, new mirrors and a Bristol badge

    I'm not counting the Cadillac. A total body redesign is enough to keep other cars off the list, so it should be in this case as well. Besides, everyone knows D-Body production stopped in 1996, not 1997, making it 19 years. I should know, anyway, since I own one of the 12,000 Fleetwoods built that year.

    Also, the Morgan 4/4 actually dates to 1936, 1955 was simply the year the car re-started production after a brief interruption in the early 50s.

    Awesome list, as usual Mr Martin.
    I was in Shenyang last (in the north-eastern Chinese Rust Belt) and we drove by a factory that's still making the Audi 100 C3. All the mid level civil servants had one, in black (while their bosses roll in Audis and their minions in Santanas). I never knew the name (can't read Chinese) but my memory's good with numbers and there was 8170 in the name.
    Any Sino-Jalops have an idea?

    Here's another one for the list - the Russian ZIL 4104/41047 which was produced from 1981 to 2002 with only a minor facelift around 1985. This was the type of car in which Gorbachev rode in around New York City in 1988.

    @tonyola: It might even extend beyond that, as Putin started using ZILs after he came to power, and I recall the factory putting the 41047 back into limited production.

    @Black_Watch_Plaid: Interesting. I have heard that even though the ZIL stopped production in 2002 because of lack of sales, the company (still a major truck maker) kept all of the tooling and has been willing to them to build them to order if anyone asked. The website for AMO-ZIL ([www.amo-zil.ru]) still lists the car.

    I'm starting to have a recurrence of a VW Ghia "bug" -- ha! See what I did there? Seeing one in person a couple of weeks ago was a surprise, what a nice design! And even with these racy little things, VW kept its sense of humor. The caption for this ad was, "You'd Lose."

    Still the 1st-gen Fiat Panda is missing. It was sold from 1980-2003. Not in China, but in (Western) Europa, so it's not even an obscure car for an European. Italian wikipedia states they made 5.5 million of these cars.

    Great list. I learned something here. But, I've gotta complain about the sequence. Going from the Pantera to that three wheeled Reliant thing gave me whiplash. Eyelash, I guess is what I'm trying to say. No, that's something else. Anyway, I call foul on such a harsh transition.

    If you include the GM D-body (B-body as well...), you MUST include Ford's Panther and Fox platforms, as Panther is still in production from 1979, and the Fox lasted from 79-04 in its basic form. And speaking of Ford, I believe the current E-series is going into its 20th year soon, que no?

    @The Dead Inside Grp. Co. Ltd.: The Panther was rebodied even more so than the D-body Cadillac for '92, and there were serious chassis modifications sometime during the Clinton administration that Murilee will be by shortly to inform you of.

    Love the two Japanese luxo-barges. Interestingly, the President provided the engine for Datsun's answer to Moby Dick, the ZX Turbo, which was piloted by the likes of Paul Newman and Sam Posey.
