Description
This wonderful car was first registered in 1951 as a 1952 model. As far as we can trace, the car has spent its entire life in Örebro County. The current owner purchased the car in 1984 and has thus owned it for 42 years. The car has been continuously restored to the exceptionally fine condition it is in today. Both the exterior and interior are in splendid driver condition. The car has been used, and the sharp-eyed observer may find occasional traces of use. A touch of nostalgia can be found in some of the accompanying documentation. Period-correct luggage is included in the trunk, and if you're heading out on a trip, you can hitch a caravan to the fitted tow bar.

Facts about the model
The 1952 Opel Kapitän represents an important milestone in the recovery of the West German post-war economy. The model, originally launched in 1938, was updated in the spring of 1951 with more modern lines strongly inspired by the American styling of its owner, General Motors (GM). This gave the car an elegant and stately profile on European roads.
Technically, the 1952 model offered a stable and comfortable driving experience thanks to its robust unibody construction. Under the hood sat a reliable 2.5-liter straight-six engine producing 58 horsepower (later upgraded to 60 hp during the year), paired with a three-speed manual gearbox with column shift. The model also distinguished itself with luxurious details for its time, such as round headlights integrated into the fenders, a prominent chrome grille, and functional vent windows. The Opel Kapitän became a major sales success and cemented Opel's position as a leading manufacturer of spacious and sought-after upper-segment family cars in the early 1950s.
