I think based on a 968-69 Kapitän, for the grille (Kapitän) and the side moulding (1968+) |

I wonder how many sales of the 1967/68 models years were professional vehicles (ambulances, funeral cars etc.) and what was the proportion to the regular retail sales. By that time, sales had tanked from a high of 60,000 units for 1964-65 to less than 5,000 for 1968 according to Opel's historical records. Shame, these beautiful cars deserved better but the market had changed and big, bold, elegant American-styled cars had completely fallen out of favor, especially with German buyers. Those cars were perceived as just too big and out of touch with changing mainstream European tastes and needs. |

Only very few, much less than Mercedes Benzes. But there's to way to check that, because many converters took complete, regulary delivered cars, so not specially prepared cars (I don't know, if Opel even had offered them). |
