Opel Rekord C

1967 – 1971 — GERMANY

The Opel Rekord, produced by the German car manufacturer Opel in eight generations between 1953 and 1986, is a notable large family car with approximately ten million units sold during its production run. The Rekord was a popular choice for families seeking a spacious and reliable vehicle. Derived versions of the Rekord, namely the Series D and E, were also manufactured by Opel's British sister company, Vauxhall, as well as by GM's Australian arm, Holden. These derivative versions helped expand the reach and availability of the Rekord across different markets and regions. The evolution of the Rekord name saw it become the primary identifier for the model, notably intertwined with the Opel Olympia name initially. The Rekord's legacy and longevity in the automotive market solidified its reputation as a dependable and practical choice for families and individuals alike. In 1986, after a successful production span, the Opel Rekord nameplate was eventually replaced by the Opel Omega, marking the end of an era for this iconic model. The transition to the Opel Omega signified a shift in design and technology for Opel's lineup, catering to changing consumer preferences and market trends.
