Chevrolet Opala

The Chevrolet Opala is a Brazilian mid-size car sold under the Chevrolet brand in South America from 1968 to 1992 by General Motors do Brasil. It was derived from the German Opel Rekord Series C and Opel Commodore Series A but used local styling and engines derived from North American designs. General Motors made about one million units, including the Opala sedan, the Opala Coupe and the station wagon variant, the Opala Caravan. It was replaced by the Chevrolet Omega in 1992, also an Opel-derived project, and it was the first passenger car built by General Motors in Brazil by the General Motors do Brasil division.
