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.
