History
Opel Kapitan P2.6
The Opel Kapitan P2.6 represented German interpretation of American automotive trends, with its wraparound windscreen, chrome trim, and generous proportions. The smooth inline-six engine provided refined performance suitable for autobahn cruising and executive transport. Opel positioned it above the Rekord but below Mercedes-Benz, targeting successful businessmen and professionals. The Kapitan name continued Opel's tradition of using naval terminology for its larger models.
