"It is rare to see an Olympia in this color."

Description

This Opel is a Hammarby build, and for those who are not familiar with the history, GM established an assembly plant in the Port of Hammarby (Stockholm) in 1927 where US cars, mainly Chevrolets but also Opels and some Vauxhall cars, were assembled.

This Rekord had one owner from 1955 until the mid-1980s. The car changed hands three times from the mid-1980s until 2013 when the current owner purchased it. At that time, the Opel was in a somewhat worn condition due to careless handling, with exterior damage and most of the chrome being destroyed. Approximately 12-14 years ago, the car underwent restoration when the current owner personally repainted it in one of GM's colors and had most of the chrome plating redone. The interior remains in untouched original condition. It is a very fine example of the Opel Olympia Rekord.

Facts about the model

In 1953, Opel introduced its big news, namely the Opel Olympia Rekord. With its modern pontoon body, it was quite different from Opel's pre-war models. It served as the successor to the old Olympia, which had been around since 1935. The Olympia Rekord, with its streamlined GM lines inspired by American designs, was produced until 1957 and featured a four-cylinder inline engine and a three-speed manual transmission. The Olympia Rekord was available as a two-door sedan, station wagon, and convertible. In 1955, a minor facelift was done, incorporating a slightly larger rear window and a new grille. According to information from the Swedish Transport Agency, there are currently 310 registered Opel Olympia Rekord cars from 1953 to 1957 in Sweden, so you won't encounter many of the same models in summer traffic.
