As far as cars go - as I recall - the Citroen 2CV is longest model kept in production -in the world. The little French car, often referred to as "deuxchevaux" was made from 1919 to 1990 with very few changes. Now it's a collector's item.

Back to model continuity and tractors - I guess it depends on what someone means by the term. That's why I mentioned the B-275 IH tractor. Although the model designation of "B-275" no longer exists, the actual tractor is still being produced by the original company, since 1959 or 1960. A few sheet metal changes were made and a newer engine was added - but the rest - approx. 85% remains the same. It is for sale now under the Mahindra name, which is the company that had the partnership with IH and made the tractors originally.
There are many older cars, tractors, and motorcyles that are still being built new by third world companies that bought up the tooling when the original manufacturers gave the models up. For instance, I was in the middle of rebuilding the engine in my 1959 Royal Enfield 500 cc. Meteor-Minor motorcyle, and when searching for parts, found out that it is still produced and used by the military in India - and all the parts are available new.
