Hmmm, I know the VW Beetle had one until 1950. Of course, Beetles were
first sold in the US in 1949, and I think that was the last year for the
starting crank. VW sold 2 Beetles in the US in 1949 :-)
I belive the VW Type 2 (Van) also had a starting handle in the first few
years of its US sales, which was 1955 or so - ?
Doubt that's the latest though, you guys can probably come up with
something more obscure :-)
