I love this collection of advertising photos of Opel automobiles in the 1950s. Opel traces its roots to a sewing machine manufacturer founded by Adam Opel in 1862 in Rüsselsheim am Main. The company began manufacturing bicycles in 1886 and produced its first automobile in 1899.
My parents had an Opel Olympia in the late 50's while we were stationed in Germany.
