Worldwide global database
Warning: cars are sold in various countries with different specifications (even if model name is the same), due to this reason the worldwide databases contains ONLY make, model and production years.
Any database with higher detail level (body styles, engines, transmission, prices, etc) should be should be specific to one country for accuracy reasons, or in worst case, to a continent. Beware of websites like CarQueryAPI mixing cars sold in multiple regions, not accurate for any market and missing models even from US and EU markets. Read more.

The original version of Car Models List in .DOC format, started in 2003. It dates back from the childhood hobby for writing book-style printer-friendly documents in Word (although I never printed it and I guess that nobody will do this).
Wheels and Tires Size API
Coverage: 1953-present, worldwide, in case of cars sold with different specs in various regions, the “market of sale” column shows EUDM (Europe), USDM (United States), MXDM (Mexico), LADM (Latin America), AUDM (Australia), etc. Cars sold with same specs all over the world have this column empty, so there is no way to filter out only cars sold in a particular country.
Tire database by brand
Along time, few people asked me for a database of tires, I usually said “I have databases of car models with tire size indicated, not database of tire models. However, in May 2017, a customer who purchased TireSize database told me to scrap data from DiscountTire.com but this turned impossible because every time I access website via scraper it gets redirected to store-locator page. A second customer also appeared asking me for a tire models database.
Automobile production by country
Source of data: www.oica.net, I compiled all years in one Excel table and chart for easy comparison. Data is updated yearly in March.
Car sales data
Source of data: carsalesbase.com and compiled in Excel by me for easy use in your projects. I update yearly in February when carsalesbase.com publish data for previous year. carsalesbase.com also shows number of cars sold by month, but number of people interested in such data is too small to justify my effort to update monthly. So I included only yearly sales.
