The Opel Olympia is a small family car produced intermittently between 1935 and 1970 by the German car manufacturer Opel, which was then part of G.M. It was one of the first mass-produced cars in the world with a unified body structure, after the Citroën Traction Avant of 1934.
In 1950, a version with a modernized body was launched, but it was still based on the pre-war version. It was produced until 1953. The car was sold as a 2-door sedan, convertible, van and station wagon with rear-wheel drive and the engine located in the front. It was powered by a 1.5-litre I4 engine, mated to a 3-speed manual gearbox. A total of around 160,000 examples of this version were produced.
