The Opel Rekord P1, branded for its first two years as the Opel Olympia Rekord P, was a large family car introduced in August 1957, in time for the Frankfurt Motor Show, by Opel as a replacement for the previous year's Opel Olympia Rekord. It was larger than its predecessor and featured an eye-catching US-style wrap-around windscreen and rear window, reminiscent of its General Motors Luton-built cousin, the Vauxhall Victor F. The Rekord P1 sold very well, consistently achieving second place in the West German sales charts, beaten only by the smaller and cheaper Volkswagen Beetle.
