In 1954, the 6-cylinder Kapitän receives a significantly modernized pontoon-style body (integrated fenders, three-box silhouette). The panorama windshield, inherited from American fashion, appears in 1958, but only for a short while. This version stays in Opel’s catalogue only from June 1958 to June 1959, before being fully renewed for summer 1959.
This diecast model in 1:43 scale was first available in the press in certain countries. Its box here is very simple (photo).
