Summary
In the fifties or seventies of the last century, the Opel driver was imagined as a relatively bourgeois citizen with a hat and suspenders. The car had to be reliable and durable, not at all glamorous or flashy. With the Opel Monza in 1977, Opel completely abandoned this image and created a coupé that was unique on the market and could compete with significantly more expensive rivals. This driving report tells the story of the Opel Monza and shows it in historical and current pictures, as well as in the sales brochure.

At that time, however, there were still few details available, only the engine data - 3 liter displacement, 180 hp - were communicated and that a modern independent rear suspension was to ensure comfort and driving safety.
