Keeping an old car on the road gets tough. Think simple and common as your best bet. 1/2 to pickups and camrys are probably good choices for Americans. People love their trucks so new parts manufacture continues longer than commodities cars like the camry.

I remember reading once about the idea of an "immortal car". They meant out of production but every single part was available new. I think the confirmed list was just the 57 Chevy and the highboy ford truck. 1st Gen Camaro were close but a few pieces weren't available. Those come with safety issues compared to new cars. Not a pleasant trade in the age of texting and driving.
