Opel 15/60 PS

The Opel 15/60 PS was a upper-class car that Adam Opel KG built from 1927 to the end of 1928 as the successor of the 14/48 PS. With its smaller sister model the 12/50 PS it introduced shock absorbers to Opel, and all four wheels had drum brakes. Its six-cylinder inline side-valve engine with a removable cylinder head displaced 3,882 cc and produced 60 PS (44 kW) at 2,800 rpm. Power passed through a multi-plate clutch, a manual 3-speed gearbox and a propeller shaft to the rear axle, and the car reached a top speed of 100 km/h. It was offered as a seven-seat touring car, a four-door Pullman saloon or an estate, the last two in standard and luxury versions. At the end of 1928 the 4.2 litre model replaced it.
