continuously, without a break....corvette had a 1 year vacation......mustang started in 64....cutlas had a long run but I don't remember if it had a break...thunderbird stopped for a few...don't remember an Impala in the 80's....without a break...and I know they don't make them any more...my vote is cutlas...as in olds.

Probably Corvette, except for the one year it wasn't made..........but I'll bet the real answer is not a US car.
So I'll go with the Volkswagen beetle or whatever it's designation is. Basically started before WWII and just dropped in the last couple years.
Probably some other odd ball furrin thing out there longer.................

I going with the buick century, 1936-2006, 70 years, but I think there was a break for WW2, oither then that I can't see a stoppage of production, any others, I think the roadmaster might be second, 1936-1996.
This came to me about bank robbers and their car of choice was the century, lightweight and fast back in the day, so I try to research it, figure I ask you guys.

started in 1959 Lebaron was more less a trim option, in early models, I think the lebaron is still a model
