    Needs more PIT maneuver.

    Oh, and Geländewagen chick needs to better understand just how good that vehicle is, off-road, if driven by someone with half a clue. #nissangtr

    Meh, the whole premise is ridiculous. New York has a spousal right of election. :/

    Seriously though, it's a very nicely done short, and I'm impressed that they were able to get such a great lineup of cars and match them so well to the characters. Seems like someone involved in this production knew where to find some well heeled friends, and in exchange for letting them borrow their cars, promised to write them in to the script. #nissangtr

    I'd naturally assume that the GT-R can beat a 9 year old 911 with less power and a Morgan with cross eyes and a Geländewagen of all things. #nissangtr

    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."

    Every time I see a Trabant, I want one. It's like a kitten that needs a home, it finds a soft spot in my cold, mechanical heart.

    Is there something wrong with me?

    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.
