The auto nameplates with the longest run
Certain automobiles are sold for an extended period of time
However, as they are passed down from generation to generation, car names can endure even longer. We're presenting a list of 30 nameplates that have been in production for more than 40 years, either continuously or intermittently, in ascending order of survival, to show how far this can go.
Citroen 2CV: 41 years, (1949–1990)
The 2CV stands out among the others in this group because, save from minor elements like a progressive rise in engine size from 375cc to 602cc, it was virtually unaltered over its entire manufacturing period. Given that it was designed in the late 1930s, it may have had a much longer lifespan, but the Second World War delayed its release.
The Ami, Dyane, and Méhari were all members of the 2CV family, although the original model outlasted them all by a wide margin.
