Opel Kadett - Alle Modellreihen (Autos, die noch Typen waren)

Today we live in a time in which the various manufacturers and models can often only be distinguished by a layperson by type plates and the respective logos of the manufacturers. The Opel Kadett was undoubtedly one of those automobile "types" of which each had its own face and characteristic lines for each model.

This book takes you on an exciting journey through automobile history, which begins for the Kadett with the original model from 1936 to 1940. However, it was not until the Kadett A in 1962 at the Bochum plant that the unbroken series of the most successful Opel series began, which was to be continued in 1991 with the Astra after production of the E-Kadett ended.

Carefully researched, the work by industry expert Peter Schulz examines all five generations of the Kadett (A to E) and documents their model history. With numerous, mostly contemporary images that show how the bestseller and its clientele developed over the years, a wonderful homage was created to one of the most traditional model series in the compact car segment.
