Description
The car was restored in the 1990s and has not been driven since the restoration.
In 2014, it was sold to a private collector in the Kristianstad area, where it was displayed without being driven. In 2024, the current owner purchased the car for their collection and has not driven it.
As space is needed for other vehicles, this car, along with a few others from the collection, is now for sale. More cars from this collection will be available in the spring.

Facts about the model
In 1953, Opel introduced its major new model, the Opel Olympia Rekord. With its modern pontoon body, it was a complete departure from Opel’s pre-war designs. It succeeded the old Olympia, which had been in production since 1935.
The Olympia Rekord, featuring scaled-down GM styling from the USA, was produced until 1957. It was powered by a four-cylinder inline engine and equipped with a three-speed manual gearbox. The model was available as a two-door sedan, station wagon, and convertible.
In 1955, a mild facelift was introduced, featuring a slightly larger rear window and a new grille.
According to data from the Swedish Transport Agency, 310 Opel Olympia Rekord cars from 1953-1957 are currently registered in Sweden, making it a rare sight on the roads—so you're unlikely to encounter many similar ones during your summer drives!

Auction information
General information about the condition of the vehicles .
- At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
- During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
