From the wikipedia article on Carburetor:

Carburetors were the usual fuel delivery method for almost all engines up until the mid-1980s, when fuel injection became the preferred method of automotive fuel delivery. In the US market, the last carbureted car was the 1991 Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor equipped with the 351 in³ (5.8 L) engine, and the last carbureted light truck was the 1994 Isuzu.[3] Elsewhere, Lada cars used carburetors until 1996. In jurisdictions with little or no regulation of auto exhaust emissions, new vehicles such as those from Tata in India and the VW Citi in South Africa are still equipped with carburetors. A majority of motorcycles still utilize carburetors due to lower cost and throttle response problems with early injection set ups, but as of 2005, many new models are now being introduced with fuel injection. Carburetors are still found in small engines and in older or specialized automobiles, such as those designed for stock car racing.
