Opel Rekord

The Opel Rekord is a large family car which was built in eight generations by the German car manufacturer Opel. Between 1953 and 1986, approximately ten million were sold. The Series D and E Rekords also spawned derivative versions manufactured by Opel's British sister company Vauxhall and, in the case of the Rekord E, GM's Australian arm Holden. In 1986 the Rekord nameplate was replaced by the Opel Omega. The Rekord name evolved into the main name of the model, at first used in close relationship with the Opel Olympia name.
