Beschreibung
It was delivered to its first owner, Gilbert Johnson in Asarum, in July 1959. Johnson used the car well into the seventies. At some point and somewhere along the way it dropped out of the registry, but in 1987 Gilbert Johnson's son, Ove Johnson, requested a copy of the original documents from the County Administrative Board of Blekinge, which later served as the basis for re-registering the car. According to the records, a few owners appear in the early nineties, but the car did not undergo a registration inspection until 1998. How the Vehicle Registry handled all of that information has not been established. In any case, the car has been driven barely 1,500 km since then, and the car's total mileage is in all likelihood only 68,500 km. Ove Johnson was the step-grandfather of the current owner, who took over the car in 2018 and received help from Åryds Motor to get it functional and inspected; receipts for this can be found among the photos. The most recent, and thereby last, passed inspection was also carried out then, in 2018.

Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand
-
Zustand technisch
Starts easily and willingly on its 6-volt battery, with the choke properly managed. Engine, gearbox, and clutch feel solid and robust, paired with steering that turns surprisingly easily and offers a tight turning circle. The gear lever is easy to work with well-defined positions. The car received a comprehensive service and renovated brakes in 2018. The latter need bleeding today, as the pedal engages a bit low.
-
Zustand Interieur
Attractive and inviting interior, by all appearances an original one. Fine door panels and headliner, the rubber mat has a nice patina, as does the mat in the trunk.
-
Zustand Exterieur
Attractive paint and color combination, likely body-restored at some point in the nineties.
The chrome on the bumpers shows pitting and some flaking. Damage to the front edge of the left rocker panel. The underbody looks good from a kneeling inspection and photography. The exhaust system's rearmost mounting was of a temporary nature at the time of documentation and can easily be remedied. -
Zustand gesamt
In the fifties, Opel was big in Sweden, and the Rekord P1 was an alternative for a budding motoring population that, for example, often chose the Volvo PV. Here is a representative and pleasant example with a fine local history.

Fakten zum Modell
The Opel Rekord P1 was introduced in 1957 and produced until 1960, becoming a major success for the German automaker. The model, officially first named the Opel Olympia Rekord P (where "P" stood for panorama), distinguished itself through its clearly American-inspired design in miniature format, a direct kinship with its owner GM. The car's most characteristic features were the deeply curved panoramic windows both front and rear, the fins on the rear fenders, and the two-tone paintwork offered as an option. Under the hood of the 1959 model, one would typically find the proven 1.5-liter four-cylinder overhead-valve engine producing 45 hp, but this year also saw the introduction of a more powerful 1.7-liter engine with 55 hp for those who desired more power. Power was transferred to the rear wheels via a three-speed, fully synchronized gearbox with column shift. The Opel Rekord P1 was offered in several body styles, including two-door and four-door sedans, a practical three-door station wagon called the CarAVan, as well as a panel van variant for business owners. For the Swedish market, the model became very significant and was a common sight on the roads thanks to its reliability, good comfort, and modern appearance at an affordable price. By the time the P1 generation was phased out in favor of the Rekord P2, nearly one million examples had rolled off the line in Rüsselsheim, cementing the car's place in automotive history as one of Europe's most beloved people's cars of the late 1950s.
