Beschreibung
This car was registered in Sweden in 1959. It spent many years in Dalarna, and when the previous owner acquired it in September 1995, the body and paint were in good condition. He updated the interior, polished the chrome details, and thoroughly checked the mechanics. He drove the car to Opel meets and enthusiast events across the country, earning diplomas for the car’s condition at various events. The car was continuously undercoated and stored in a heated garage.
Over ten years ago, he noticed slight hints of rust around the fuel cap and some fender edges, so he had the car sanded down, repaired, and repainted below the waistline all around. At that time, the hood and trunk lid were also painted inside and out.
The last inspection was in August 2017, after which the car was exempt from further inspections.
The most recent owner acquired the car in September 2021. He had been working on a project car for many years, but when this fine example appeared, he jumped at the chance and got his dream car. It has been sparingly driven as an enthusiast vehicle. He installed a modern music system with Bluetooth and speakers in the trunk.
The car is equipped with a tow hitch.

Starts easily and runs smoothly in both the engine and drivetrain. The column shifter works without problems, and the clutch, steering, and brakes are all functioning well. According to the previous owner, a small amount of gasoline may be needed in the carburetor if the car has been sitting for a while. It has a new battery.
-
Zustand Interieur
Pleasant interior with an original feel, though some work has been done over the years. There is mild wear and patina consistent with regular use.

Zustand gesamt
It’s often the versions that weren’t the hottest when they were new that become the most sought-after enthusiast and collector vehicles. When they are also in good condition in their original form, they become an interesting nostalgic thrill and classic.

Fakten zum Modell
Opel was founded by Adam Opel in 1862 and quickly achieved successful sales of sewing machines. In 1886, the company began manufacturing bicycles and soon became Germany’s largest manufacturer of two-wheelers. The first cars were produced in 1898, but they flopped. However, perseverance paid off, and in 1902, Opel tried again in collaboration with the French company Darracq, which was more successful. The company grew, and by the 1920s, it became one of the largest vehicle manufacturers in Germany and Europe. GM bought into Opel in the late 1920s and acquired a majority stake in the company in 1931.
The Opel Kapitän was the last model designed during the interwar period. It had a traditional body style of the time with protruding fenders. It premiered at the Geneva Motor Show in 1939 and was available in both closed and open versions. Production was halted at the end of 1940 due to World War II but resumed in 1948, now only as a four-door closed body. In the fall of 1953, a new Kapitän with a pontoon body was introduced and manufactured until the 1958 model year.
In 1959, a completely new car was launched, heavily influenced by the U.S. market. It featured the latest trends of the time, such as panoramic windows and fins. The design was criticized, particularly for how it negatively impacted passenger space compared to earlier Kapitän models. As a result, Opel quickly developed a new model, and the so-called P1 model was only in production for one model year. The car industry was changing rapidly at that time, and panoramic windows and fins quickly went “out of fashion.”
The model had a six-cylinder engine with a 2.5-liter displacement and 80 horsepower. Production stopped at 34,842 units. In Sweden, Opel cars were relatively popular in the late 1950s and early 1960s, including the Kapitän. Over time, Kapitäns became sought after, initially as “raggare” cars and later as enthusiast vehicles.
