7. Oldtimertreffen am 07.07.2012 in Greußen - Ausfahrt zahlreicher Teilnehmer nach Bad Tennstedt. Der Opel Rekord P1 (ursprünglich Opel Olympia Rekord P) ist ein Pkw-Modell der oberen Mittelklasse, das Opel 1957 als Nachfolger des Opel Olympia Rekord vorstellte. Das charakteristische Merkmal dieser Modellreihe sind die Panoramascheiben, für die das P in der Modellbezeichnung steht. Nachfolger dieses sehr erfolgreichen Modells war 1960 der Opel Rekord P2. The Opel Rekord P1 (branded for its first two years as the Opel Olympia Rekord P) was a large family car introduced in August 1957, in time for the Frankfurt Motor Show, by Opel as a replacement for the previous year's Opel Olympia Rekord. It was larger than its predecessor and featured a US-style eye-catching wrap-around windscreen and rear window, reminiscent of its General Motors Luton built cousin the Vauxhall Victor FA, which had appeared in England a few months earlier. The Opel Rekord P1 sold very well, consistently achieving second place in the West German sales charts, beaten to the top slot only by the smaller and cheaper Volkswagen Beetle. The manufacturer departed from the habit established with the predecessor model of face-lifting the front grill and other trim details every year, but the P1 nonetheless experienced a relatively short production run. The P1 was replaced in Summer 1960 by the Opel Rekord P2, although the body of the Rekord P1 continued to be offered on the Opel 1200, itself a reduced specification version of the Rekord P1, until 1962. Unlike the modern bodywork, the 1488 cc ohc four cylinder water cooled engine was very little changed since it had first been offered in the Opel Olympia back in 1937. Claimed power output at launch was unchanged from the previous model's 45 hp (33 kW) at 3900 rpm. However, from July 1959 the compression ratio was increased to that the 1488cc engine now offered a claimed 50 hp (37 kW) of maximum power: also, customers could now specify a larger 1680 cc engine for which the published maximum power output was 55 hp (40 kW) at 4000 rpm. |
