As the T'Bird was an answetr to the 'Vette that is ob'vsly incorrect. How about "Bonneville"?

Hi Scott: That's a bit of a toughie but here's one for you. The first Buick Riviera was built in 1949 and the name was used more or less continuously from then on. During a portion of that time the n

Hello Scott: Well, the Corvette has been around since '53, but they didn't have a coupe until '63 or so. TBirds became miniature limos in the 70's, so I'm goin' waaaay out on a limb, displaying my ig

I agree with Mark - definitely theT-bird. And no, they're not making them any more. So that would make the T-bird the longest produced, but the Vette would be the longest still in production. -NORY D

I doubt that. I believe the Avanti went out of production in 1988 or so. I think they started in about 62, and there was no convertible until the mid 80's. So the 'vette has it over the avanti for n

Well, for my first question, I consider all years of the Corvette to be sports cars, but they didn't have a 1983 model. Took too long to get the new body style out. As for the fibreglass question, a

Well, if it's still being produced, I'd count it. It pre-dates the Mustang, but I don't think it pre-dates the T-bird. Anyway, I thought they quit making them after the run of 350 c.i. Impala SS's.
