I was cruising around the car-stats website and I thought, I wonder what the slowest production car ever made is. So, I leave this challenge up to you. Check out this site for cars:
http://www.car-stats.com/
And post any cars that you think are just too slow, or that you found funny.

Here is my best so far, but I am still looking:

1993 Geo Metro Lsi Convertible 0-60 - 13.8 ___ 1/4 - 19.4

I found a new one:

1993 AM General Hummer 0-60 - 20.2_______1/4 - 21.8

It's funny, the 0-60 and ET are almost the same, must be some amazing trap speeds!

I'm still looking for definitive numbers, but I would certainly believe the Renault Deux Chevaux (2cv) is right up (or is it down?) there...

Some old Land Rover from the 60's, I think some of them couldn't make it to 60mph

My 1947 Willys CJ-2A would only do 60 mph before I got an overdrive. You'd need an hour glass for the 1/4 mile times. I'm guessing around 20sec 0-60. Only 60 hp with 134 cu in. It'll go almost straight up though.
