"When Olympia Records replaced Olympia in 1953, it was hypermodern with its US-influenced pontoon chassis."

Description

This Opel Olympia Record has only had six owners since it was purchased in 1955 at Kalges Bilfirma in Vänersborg. According to the current owner, the car has only been driven during the summer. Today it has very worn paint but it’s a genuine original car that is tested and ready to drive home. The interior has the Opel blankets front and back. Underneath the blanket that looks okay, however, the driver's seat is new springs. The glove box is full of old documentation, complete owner history, manual and maintenance booklet.
The car made by General Motors and feels like a scaled-down Chevrolet.

Facts about the model

When the Opel Olympia Record was presented in March 1953, it was the successor to Old Olympia, which has been around since 1935. The Olympia Record with its ground-level GM lines from the United States was built in 1957 and featured a four-cylinder radial engine and a three-speed manual transmission. Olympia Record was the two-door sedan, the cab and the cabriolet.
In 1955 a mild facelift was made with a larger rear window and a new grill.
