VW ? Yes.
Beetle? Yes.
2013? Oh no. In production up until 2019.
If this counts as a car Then a good few years yet, I’d imagine.

Re: What was the last Wob with a..
Here's one to ponder.
What was the last four wheeled car to be fitted with static seat belts in the front? I know the Yugo Sana had them in the rear back in 1991. Obviously, I'm referring to lap diagonal belts, not the centre lap belt fitted to vans.

I seem to recall somebody in the car club I belonged to a few years ago moaning about them in a fairly modern Morgan but wasn't interested enough to remember which model unfortunately.

Possibly one of the last cars to use semaphores, up to '59, and 6v electrics, until '67 - and later if you bought a basic "sparkafer"mercrocker wrote: ↑Sun Jan 17, 2021 2:44 pm Mexican-built Beetles sported both until around 2004 I think although the very last ones may have had painted hubcaps.

Last car with 3 speed gearbox? As far as I can tell until 1972 the Victor FD could be had with one in column shift versions, even on the 3.3 litre. I remember a K reg CF van which had a 3 speed floor change, though it's to be hoped that this option wasn't available with the 50bhp Perkins 4 108 diesel engine. I'd be happy to hear that some USA autos stuck with 3 on the tree for longer though.
