Details:

The Opel Rekord P1 marked a defining moment in post-war German automotive history when it launched in 1957. Replacing the Opel Olympia Rekord, it became a symbol of the German “Wirtschaftswunder” (Economic Miracle), reflecting optimism, prosperity, and a growing appetite for modern design. With its distinctive American-inspired styling and expansive “Panorama” windscreen concept, the Rekord P1 brought a sense of openness and modernity to European roads.

This rare convertible variant was even more exclusive in its time, often produced as a custom-built interpretation of the standard model. Skilled coachbuilders adapted the P1 to individual customer specifications, resulting in unique open-top versions that embodied personal luxury and craftsmanship.

This finely detailed WIKING model captures that bespoke character with precision, celebrating both the engineering heritage and styling flair of the original Opel classic.
