1960 Opel Rekord Olympia

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Launched in August 1957, the Opel Rekord Olympia P1 was targeted towards an expanding family car market. The “P” in its name stood for panoramic, referring to its wrap-around windscreen and rear window influenced by popular General Motors vehicles of the time. It was offered in four-door sedan and three-door station wagon body styles as well as the desirable two-door saloon. Opel produced over 800,000 P1 models, over 50% of which were exported outside of West Germany.

This ‘60 Rekford Olympia was reportedly purchased by the seller from its reported original owner in 1997. The seller tells us the car is kept in climate-controlled storage, but sees frequent usage. It wears a pale sage green finish with a white roof, chrome bumpers, and bright trim over pleated white vinyl and patterned gray cloth upholstery. Power comes from a 1.5-liter inline-four paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission.

Work performed since 2025 included performing rust repairs, repainting the hood and engine bay, servicing the engine cooling and brake systems, rebuilding the starter and generator, and reconditioning the fuel tank.
