Link to "www.autowallpaper.de" So the year is 1955- (rear window was extended from 1955) 1953- narrow window picture http://www.transportstation.org/show/3325/1953%20%20Opel%20Olympia%20Rekord Once my neighbour owned '56 for long years, so Rekord is familier for me
sixcyl ◊ 2006-02-27 14:13	Thank's for this info, I agree that there are 2 generations of this 1953/1957 Olympia Rekord (Grill , rear windows diffenrences), but what I wanted to notice is that what is named "1957 model" is radicaly different with new body and panoramic US style windscreen such as /vehicle_13259-Opel-Olympia-Rekord-P-1957.html
Jun ◊ 2006-02-27 14:49	Thank you, and I have a question. Does Opel (and Germany) use the 'model year'? I don't know whether Germany uses or not, please let me know...
