Sorry, I think it’s a late 60s Opel.

I had an Opel record (~ 1960) that looked like this less the chrome. It was sort of salmon colored.
I drove it to school ai Raleigh across the mountain through Boone. It would barely make it up the mountain. By the time I got to the top it was making only about 35. It ran good on the flat though.
On one trip coming out of N Wilkesboro on a long down hill, the hood latch gave way and the hood wrapped back over the windshield. It took a while to realize what had happened and I finally got it off the road with my head out the window.

Those things need to be put out of their misery. Just when I thought the SMART car was the dumbest thing on the road, along comes a new contender. What the crap is GM thinking? My guess it will get a “best mpg in it’s class” of 35mpg (which is piss poor to have to drive around on an abortion on wheels and putting your life in danger if you roll over a twig you’re off the road and dead) where a 1977 VW Diesel Rabbit pickup truck would pull near 50mpg on old technology from the 70s.

I’ll pay one euro for it.

There is a diesel Rabbit that I see in town from time to time. I smokes so badly that it’s hard to see it but apparently you can’t kill these things off...

Named after it’s resale value I assume?

VW still makes a diesel JettaTDI, and they still get near 50 MPG. I can not fathom how anyone would buy a car that will need all the batteries replaced in 3 to 5 years to the tune of 3 to 5 grand. When the VW and it’s Audi TDI counterpart get better mileage than the Hybrids on the market without the expensive batteries.

Whatever it is ,that has ceased to be an Opel.
I don’t care for those kinds of “cars”.
My first car was an 1967 Opel Kadet with the 1.1 liter 4 cylinder and stick.$300 used in 1973.Not as good on gas as the 1970 auto wagon.
