A bit about Opel

Opel, full name Opel Automobile, is a German car manufacturer based in Hesse. In the UK, Opel cars are sold as Vauxhall models, and in other global markets have been rebadged as Holden, Saturn, and Cadillac cars.

The company was established in 1862, with roots as a sewing machine manufacturer, and then as a maker of bicycles which was originally founded by Adam Opel. Opel passed away before the brand moved into the manufacturing of cars, but at the time of his death, Opel was the leader in both its chosen industries. The company’s first automobile was unveiled in 1899, designed by widow Sophie Opel. The brand’s start in the car industry was rocky, with the first car receiving a mixed response and consequent models having a short production life due to low demand. The brand was also forced, in 1917, to construct a test track, having attracted criticism for testing their vehicles on public roads.

In the 1920s, the Laubfrosch was released. Originally priced to be a high-end vehicle, the incorporation of production lines in Opel’s factories led to the car being massively reduced within ten years. This marked the beginning of cars becoming not just a mainstay of the rich, but available to all classes. Another notable development of the 1920s was Opel’s role in devising technologies for spaceflight and creating the world’s first rocket program, Opel-RAK. The achievements of this program attracted the world’s eyes to Opel and its innovative technology, but the Great Depression brought an end to the scheme. With the death of co-founder Max Valier during rocket testing some years later, Opel’s association with rockets was ended.

In 1929 General Motors purchased 80% of Opel, increasing this to 100% in 1931 and leading the brand to new success. Opel was the first German brand to achieve over production units of over 100,000 cars a year. As with many car marques, the outbreak of WWII put an end to car production. In the years that followed, Opel supported its return to full production by also making refrigerators.

In the ‘70s and ‘80s, Opel successfully started manufacturing cars in Spain. Opel was financially stable for an impressive two decades, allowing General Motors to support other brands off the sales of Opels and Vauxhalls. In the ‘90s Opel collaborated with Isuzu to create its first SUV, the Frotera, followed by the less warmly received Monterey in 1994.

In 2012, Opel announced a partnership with Peugeot and Citroën that would lead to the PSA Groupe, which would also come to own DS and, in time, Fiat Chrysler automobiles. Future mergers now mean Opel operates under the Stellantis car manufacturer, which, along with the aforementioned brands, also owns Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, and Dodge.
