1969 Opel GT

The Opel GT is a classic sports car that was produced by the German automaker Opel from 1968 to 1973. It was first introduced as a concept car at the 1965 Frankfurt Motor Show and received positive feedback, leading Opel to put it into production. The Opel GT, also known as the Opel GT 1900, was designed to be a small, affordable sports car with sleek styling and good performance. It featured a fastback coupe design with a long hood and a short rear deck, reminiscent of the Chevrolet Corvette of the time. Under the hood, the Opel GT 1900 was powered by a 1.9-liter inline-four engine, which produced around 90 horsepower. While not extremely powerful by today's standards, it provided a decent amount of performance for its size and era. The engine was mated to a four-speed manual transmission, which sent power to the rear wheels. The Opel GT 1900 had some interesting design elements, such as pop-up headlights that were manually operated by a lever inside the cabin. It also had a distinctive "Coke bottle" shape with sweeping curves and a prominent chrome strip running along the sides. In terms of performance, the Opel GT 1900 could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in around 11 seconds and had a top speed of about 110 mph (177 km/h). The Opel GT 1900 gained popularity during its production years, and it has since become a sought-after collector's car. Its unique design, affordability, and nostalgic appeal contribute to its enduring popularity among automotive enthusiasts.
