So many of those cars listed kept changing. Example, even if it was the Corvette, it's completely different car from C1 to C2 to C3, etc. And vehicles like the Ford F-150 have been around for ever but really an F-150 is essentially Ford's basic big Pickup, it changes all the time...
My vote would go to Porsche 928. Yes, the engines were upgraded as well as other things but the shape remained almost exactly the same for 17+ years!! NSX also had a very long production run without much change.

The Suburban hasn't been continously produced since 193*, the name has been around that long but the car has changed. The Morgan 4/4 hasn't except for its drivetrain.

Yeah...Chevy Suburban 1935 to present. 79 years!

The Hilman Hunter might be a good bet for this as well. This is in production in the same form since 1966 until this day. Rebadged as Paykan it was produced till 2005 in Iran, but production was recently restarted in Sudan apparently. Three years longer than the Lada/Fiat 128.

1935 for the Suburban, actually...

Approximately 79% of statistics are made up.

So what's the consensus? I would say Hindustan Ambassador, for basically the longest unchanged production car.
If you want to argue marque or model name, then that's a whole different problem.

Volkswagen Type 2 or the Land Rover also make for good candidates.
Although, if the drivetrain changes significantly is it still the same car?

Do you mean this?

It looks like it's had significant changes between the first gen and last gen models.
I would personally argue for the Beetle, as that had less changes and has only recently been discontinued.
The Land Rover Defender you mean? That's a good choice.

Well you could argue that the transition from T1 to T2 was a mere facelift, and the T2 was produced in Brazil until 2013, which technically would meant that it was in continuous production from 1949 until last year.
The Land Rover, again I agree it is a good call, but how many parts do the original model and the one currently built actually share?
Lack of charisma can be fatal.
