Opel Commodore (Commodore A, 1967 to 1971)

The Commodore A was the first generation of the Opel Commodore, manufactured from 1967 to 1971 and based on the Rekord C. Opel launched it in February 1967 as a faster, up-market version of the Rekord, after offering a Rekord-6 with a 2.6 L six-cylinder engine since March 1964. It came with a 2.2-litre six and a larger 2.5 L engine of 115 PS with a single carburettor, in two-door or four-door notchback saloon and two-door hardtop or fastback coupé bodies. In September 1967 the sporty Commodore GS added 130 PS from a dual-carburettor 2.5-litre six, and from September 1969 the base 2.5 L engine was raised to 120 PS.
