The fate of the car is largely similar to that of humans: some appear and disappear, others leave their mark in history.
But there are those who while still living would become legends, they become founders of dynasties, and sometimes available under the same name more than half a century. Just about these models today and we’ll talk.
Ford Mustang
Since the start of production back in 1964 the Ford Mustang has survived wars and oil crises. But no adversity could not kill the most iconic post-war car of America. Despite the universal hybridization and electrification of this muscle car continues to be not in danger. Something tells us that after 20 years of Ford Mustang continues to be the best gift from a rich daddy to the child to adulthood.
BMW 3-Series
“Treshka” BMW is a unique car. This machine is attractive in appearance, has excellent driving qualities and gives the owner the appropriate status. There is nothing surprising in the fact that the model is not losing popularity for the past 40 years. And obviously, before sundown legends is still very, very far away. Despite the superiority of the older models in technology, equipment and status, “three” beats them for its accessibility and balance.
Chevrolet Corvette
The story of the “Corvette” already looks exciting: sports model first appeared in 1953, and since then constantly improved. Seventh generation created on the chassis with aluminum frame and hood from carbon fiber, V8 engine and a pile of various technologies, without which it is impossible to imagine any modern car.
Mazda MX-5
This is the most popular Roadster of all time and the most successful Mazda car in the world. It has everything: folding roof, classic rear-drive, honest “mechanics” and high performance. Of course, all this is seasoned with a great timeless design. It’s a pity the domestic market, the model has not caught on, but in the U.S. the car can be bought for only $ 24 915. I think this car will not leave the pipeline at least another 30 years.
Toyota Camry
The model produced from 1982, embodies the pragmatism and practicality. Millions of these machines of different generations romp around the world, causing a sense of peace and happiness to the owners of the Immortals “Japanese”.
Jeep Wrangler
With this model, the word “jeep” became a household word: it is firmly associated with the famous American SUV brand Jeep model Wrangler. The machine saw the light in 1941 and was intended for the army during the Second world war. The model was built on the basis of all-wheel drive Willys frame, possessing excellent maneuverability. After three quarters of a century the car still did not lose any of his outstanding ability, while receiving all the attributes of the vehicle of the XXI century.
Ford F-150
Ford F-150 was created in 1975 to fill the niche between the F-100 much more powerful models. And was incredibly successful. The model is on the peak of popularity today. The very same truck the F series began in 1948 — at that time America needed cars-hardworking, able to understand the economy in the difficult post-war period. 2016 has become the most successful model since 2005. And by 2020, the American automaker intends to release a hybrid modification of the model F-150.
Toyota Prius
Since the debut model of the Prius in 1997, Toyota was able to realize six million units of this car worldwide. The secret of success is simple: incredible reliability, combined with a negligible fuel consumption. Even if the hybrid Prius will give way to fully electric, the model is unlikely to leave the market. She had become a legend. To abandon the “Prius” now do not want neither the manufacturer nor the customers.
Porsche 911
The sports car segment will never perish completely: we have no doubt that fans will continue to ride on the ultra-fast Ferrari and Lamborghini. The only unclear on what it is. In the case of Porsche, no doubt — 911 for many years will be the hallmark and the dream of admirers of the brand, as back in 1964. Its design and performance will in any case reference. Neither of which the transition to unmanned technology in the case of a Porsche can not be considered.
Niva
Four-wheel drive Soviet car with a monocoque body, first put on the conveyor 40 years ago, became the ancestor of the tribe of crossovers and was far ahead of its time. So far this machine is second to none in terms of traffic in its class. Despite the fact that the fate of the model in its present form is basically a foregone conclusion, “field” will certainly continue to exist in some other, more modern guise.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class
Mercedes “s” model appeared in 1972, but actually count its history from the beginning of the 1950s. over the next six decades this was the main car in the model lineup Mercedes-Benz: it features numerous systems, including airbags, ABS and voice control. Buyers of the Mercedes S-Class are born, not made; just like any other legendary car from “Eski” is your own client. So it was, is and always will be.
UAZ “Loaf”
According to official data, the car appeared in Ulyanovsk in 1957 and is firmly occupied by the pipeline local factory, where not in a hurry to leave so far.
