History About Opel and Their GT Model:
The Opel manufacturing company was established in Germany in 1862, initially producing sewing machines and later becoming the world's largest bicycle manufacturer. By 1899, Opel built its first automobile. General Motors took notice and purchased an 80% stake in the company in 1929, becoming the majority owner. GM acquired full ownership by 1931 and became Europe's largest auto manufacturer by 1936 while continuing bicycle production until 1937. Opel focused on affordable, steel-bodied vehicles for economical buyers. After World War II, production resumed in 1946, and by 1950, the war-damaged plant was fully restored. Opel became Germany's largest automaker by 1972, introducing the attractive sports car platform called the GT.
The Opel GT is a sleek, curvy two-seater with a robust 4-cylinder engine positioned up front, delivering power to the rear. Its design resembled the newly styled Corvette C3 body introduced the same year. Engine options included a 1100cc producing 67 horsepower or the more popular 1900cc 4-cylinder cam-in-head option with 102 horsepower. However, due to US emissions requirements, engine compression was lowered, reducing horsepower to 83 in 1971. The steel unibody design features a front, mid-engine and rear-wheel-drive layout.
