German car manufacturer Opel introduced the new Opel Rekord A in
March 1963. The new car, a replacement for the Opel Rekord P2, was
shorter but also wider than its predecessor. The car, inspired on the
Chevrolet II, was designed at General Motors Technical Center in
Michigan.
The Rekord A retained the engines of
the P2, a 1488 cc L4 with 40 kW and a 1680 cc L4 unit with 44 kW or
49 kW (1700S version). In March 1964 a new six-cylinder in line
engine with 2605 cc became available.

Autenreith and Karl Deutsch. The Rekord A was
replaced in August 1965 by the Rekord B
after a total production of 887488 cars.
