The Opel Olympia Rekord was a ponton fender styled family sedan build in Rüsselsheim by GM's German subsidiary Opel. The little car confused the West German public because it was given annual cosmetic update (similar to a 50s Chevy) while domestic competition (Volkswagen, etc) ran the same model for several years. Regardless, over a half a million Olympias were built from 1953 to 1957 and you can occasionally find one of this side of the Atlantic. Find this 1955 Opel Olympia Rekord CarAVan wagon offered
