In this volume, Alexander F. Storz traces the entire history of Opel. Starting with the Commodore and the Kadett and ending with the Diplomat. With great expertise, he recalls the well-known and lesser-known cars with the lightning bolt in the logo, including trucks and delivery vans, as well as the first successes in the pioneering days of motor sport.

The brand history is rounded off with an overview of Opel miniature models and technical tables for each model.
