When one of the greats of automotive history turns 80, it is time to celebrate. The Opel Kapitän started its career in 1938 and remained the brand's flagship for 42 years. For the birthday party, 25 top-maintained Kapitäns met for an anniversary tour from the Opel headquarters in Rüsselsheim to the Darmstadt-Kranichstein Railway Museum. The wonderful purring of the six-cylinder in-line engines of the Kapitäne was accompanied by modern sounds: Three new Opel Insignia cars had come to congratulate their grandfathers. From flagship to flagship. Then as now, the largest Opel model rolls off the production line at the Rüsselsheim plant – just the right place for a birthday party: „Congratulations, Mr. Kapitän!“
