Opel Diplomat

The Opel Diplomat is a luxury car manufactured by Opel from 1964 to 1977. Opel's top-ranging models had traditionally been the Admiral and Kapitän, introduced in 1938 and 1937 respectively. In 1964 these models were joined, in the so-called KAD range of Kapitän, Admiral and Diplomat, by the new Opel Diplomat, and in most respects the three were badge-engineered versions of the same vehicle. The Diplomat A was built from 1964 to 1968, when in February 1964 Opel introduced the new range of flagship models as successors to the Kapitän P-LV.
