Premiera na IAA.

Opel, announced new versions of their Olympia and Kapitän cars. These four- and six-cylinder models of 1½- and 2¼ litres capacity retain existing engines although in the case of the six-cylinder model the power output has been increased to 68 h.p. Another mechanical change on the bigger model is a revised length for the front suspension wishbones giving less wheel tilt when cornering, whilst the body has been wholly re-styled in the current General Motors convention. The 1½-litre car is now known as the Olympia "Record" and has a combined body and chassis construction with, it is interesting to note, a two-door body as the only catalogue type.
