Just wondering...............what’s the longest run a manufacturer has done on a model of car??? i.e - VW golf into its 5th generation now 1974 - 2006 = 32yrs.

Also whats longest a model has run without serious change i.e Corsa B 1993 - 2000 7yrs.

Just something ive been thinking about

TTT I think Willy's Jeep wins, since the first world war and they still make them for military use today. Plus they have road legal versions making it a production road car.
Either that or you could get silly with the classic american cars that are still being re-shelled and sold as different models.
