Opel Olympia (1947-1953)

Opel Olympias were offered from 1947 to 1953. From 1953 to 1963 the cars became known as Olympia Record. The name Olympia was dropped in 1967.

The Olympia was the first series to leave the Rüsselsheim works after the war. Nearly 26,000 were built, many for export countries. Changes in January 1950 included a new front end, more chrome and the then modern column gear-change.

Opel Kapitän 1947-1950

The 1947 Opel Kapitän was a roomy six-cylinder saloon based on the 1939 design. In fact the major external difference was its round headlamps (the pre-war models had angular ones). Bumpers, hubcaps and 'zeppelin' were also of a slightly different design. Opel no longer offered two-door or convertible models. Although designated the 1947 model, production didn't actually commence until October 1948.
