5k: Haifischmaul-Kuelhergrill: 1955 Opel Olympia Rekord CarAVan

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 here on eBay currently bidding for $5,300 reserve-not-met with 4 days to go, located in Rehoboth Beach, DE.
