Opel Kapitan in Israel

The Opel Kapitan was produced by Opel from 1938 to 1970. The model was quite innovative. For example, it was the first to feature a self-supporting steel body. After the war, it was a luxury car for bosses and wealthy families. Later, it began to resemble American sedans and large limousines, the so-called street cruisers. In the 60s, it acquired a light futuristic style, according to the fashion of those years. By the end of the 60s, the design changed again. The car looked more angular, brutal, and became more powerful. But it was still quite anachronistic, so it was discontinued in 1970. The Kapitan served as the basis for special vehicles, including ambulances, business vehicles and even hearses.
