Opel Rekord Series C

The Opel Rekord Series C is a large family car that was introduced in August 1966, by Opel as a replacement for the short-lived Opel Rekord Series B. It was slightly larger all round than its predecessor, from which it inherited most of its engines. It continued in production until replaced by the Opel Rekord Series D at the end of 1971. The Rekord C's production run of five and a third years was longer than that of any previous generation of Opel Rekord, and during that period 1,276,681 were produced, making it the first middle-class Opel to exceed the one million mark.
