The most ‘oldest’ models of brands (P1)

Each brand has a different history of development, along with its own products with the longest life in their product lineup.
1. Honda Civic (48 years)

Thanks to the oil crisis of the 1970s, the Honda Civic achieved great success. This is also the first Honda model to succeed outside of the Japanese domestic market. The model’s CVCC engine appeared in 1973 and didn’t need a converter to meet the EPA’s 1975 emissions standards. This has helped Civic make a leap compared to competitors present on the market at any time. Honda Civic The current Honda Civic is the 11th generation and is renowned for its economy, reliability and fun driving experience. This model has become its flagship product in the C-segment sedan segment. This product is suitable for families. Meanwhile, the Si and Type R performance versions launched later are products for those who love more strength and personality. 2. Nissan Z (51 years) Nissan Z The first Nissan Z-car appeared in 1969 as a 2-door rear-wheel drive sports car, using a 6-cylinder engine. For the 7th generation, it seems that the Nissan Z has not changed much. Over the decades, four-seat, cabriolet, T-top and Nismo versions have entered the market. The first model in this product line is called Nissan Fairlady Z or Datsun 240Z (depending on the market). The inheritance of the original Z-car is a testament to the position of Japanese models in the popular car field. 3. Chevrolet Camaro (54 years) Chevrolet Camaro In 1965, information began to circulate about Chevrolet starting to produce a 2-door, 4-seater coupe with a 6-8 cylinder engine. The new car was codenamed Panther but was first introduced as the Camaro in 1966. The Chevrolet Camaro is currently in its 6th generation but took an 8-year hiatus between the 4th and 5th generations. Camaro’s name has no specific definition. However, according to what Chevy shared with the press when the car was launched, Camaro is “a” small, vicious monster and “eats” Mustangs (horses). This is a play on words, referring to the outstanding power of the Camaro because Mustang is the name of another model of the company, which also means horse. 4. Toyota Corolla (54 years) Chevrolet Corolla The same year Chevrolet tried to “take down” Ford with the Camaro, Toyota was also busy bringing the Corolla to market for the first time. Over the generations, the Corolla has gradually become the best-selling car model in the world after surpassing the Volkswagen Beetle. From 1966 to 1983, through 4 generations, Chevrolet Corolla used rear-wheel drive. The 5th generation switched to front-wheel drive. In the 12th generation, the Corolla became a fuel-efficient car, using front-wheel drive and in a sedan/hatchback configuration. 5. Ford Mustang (56 years) Ford Mustang When Ford launched the Mustang in 1964, the American automaker only set a goal of selling 100,000 a year. Surprisingly, 400,000 cars were sold in the first year and within 2 years, more than 1 million cars were on the road. The success of the Mustang is a legend. The car continued to be produced continuously for 6 generations after that. The influence of the Mustang grew and spread to Chevrolet, Pontiac, AMC, and even Toyota.
