There was a link posted here that had cars that had been produced forever. The festiva was on it. I can't find it. I'm having a hard time thinking of the proper search terms.

Jeep CJ had many parts from the 50s that could directly fit even on an 80.Comment

Obviously I'm biased but Alec Issagonis's creation of the Austin Mini came out in 1959 and I really don't know when it ended but likely sometime in the 1980s. The BMW version doesn't count as far as I'm concerned; too bloated and too luxurious. They were originally meant to be more utilitarian and practical than motorcycles.Comment

I think the 1976-1993 Volvo 240 run was pretty significant, even though it doesn't seem like much compared to others. The fact that the Haynes manual can span almost 20 years is pretty remarkable though.1988 Chevy Sprint Turbo 997ccComment

Mini Cooper would probably be another one. They made the old body style into the late 90s I think.
Whoops. I see someone already mentioned it now..
Found this on the Mini Wiki Page: "Mini Cooper and Cooper S: 1961–2000"Last edited by Prafeston; 10-24-2012, 11:36 PM.Comment

the last analog mini ( just in reference to the classic mini, it was very much digitized) rolled off the assembly line in 2002 iirc. That's the same year Brazil ceased production of the VW type 1 (beetle). The beetle ran from the late 40's till 2002.Originally posted by Bert View PostDriving for me is neither a right nor a privilege.

Beetle ran from late 30's... It just didn't come to the US until '49.

Yeah, beetle, 1938 – 2002 we have that info covered. What I'm looking for is a link to the article. It was posted here sometime back anyone think of any of the search terms that would help me achieve this. I've googled it and I've searched here.youtube.com/neanderpaul 88 festiva LX w/BP G25 MR 5 speed waiting for wiring- 93 Festiva GL auto w/ air, waiting for B6t/G4A-HL - 98 Nissan Quest - 02 Mazda protege 5 wife's DDComment

Paul, just do the research and write your own article. You'll probably do a better job anyway. Then you always know where the article can be found.Driving for me is neither a right nor a privilege.
