Opel Rekord Series B

The Opel Rekord Series B is a large family car that was introduced in August 1965 by Opel as a replacement for the Opel Rekord Series A and a stopgap until the delayed Rekord C was ready for sale. Produced only until July 1966, it shared the wheelbase and 1,696 mm width of its predecessor, but the front and rear panels were restyled to give it a more modern appearance. Previous Rekords had combined eye-catching new bodies with old-fashioned mechanicals, and in the Rekord B the old engine was at long last replaced by a newly designed inline four-cylinder with a camshaft in head layout.
