The citro:en 2CV was presented in October 1948, and was still in production
this year. I think that makes it the longest run in history (rebuttals?).
I saw a car from the original run in the George Pompidour in Paris, and
I recall it had just 1 headlight. The design specifications of the original
car called for being able to carry a dozen eggs from the farm to the market
under the roads then available. The suspension is ``interesting''.

The current version has 2 opposed cylinders, 602cubic centimeters total.
and 29 DIN horsepower (21kW). Weights 585Kgs, and, according to specs
can make 115Km/hour, using 5.4 l/100k/90kmh.
It is currently being classified as a 3 cv for tax purposes. It costs
28280 ff.
