Photo Gallery «Opel Olympia Rekord - American recipes for success on local roads»
The 1953 Olympia Rekord was not only Opel's first major new design, it also made the middle class affordable for a much larger proportion of the population, making it a great success. Not only in Germany, but also in Switzerland and other countries, it appeared high up on the registration hit parade. It was carefully designed without superfluous innovations and lasted longer than many competitor vehicles. Sensible and reliable, and beautifully shaped to boot - what more could anyone want in the 1950s? This vehicle report describes the development and history of the Olympia Rekord and shows it in many historical and modern illustrations, as well as in the advertising images of the time.
