Rekord glows in the flower-power look

Regardless of the spirit of the time may be, there must also be authenticity: Because the Opel Rekord from WIKING molds glows as orange as the sun.This presence in the radiant paintwork characterises many images of the 1970s – pure flower-power feeling.The Opel Rekord D sped off the production line from August 1971 until the company holidays in the summer of 1977 – and became a million seller! The designer, Chuck Jordan, created the blueprint for the Rekord D, whose form proclaimed consistent linearity and created a significant optical distance from its predecessor.The Opel limousine matched its time unerringly because it reflected the middle class's attitude to life.This was what made the Rekord a best seller.1,128,196 vehicles were built up to July 1977.
