I know no-one cares about Opel, including me, but ... the same happened to
Opel, too.  And, this is almost funny, they kept on biulding the model of
the time - Olympia - until the late 60's with no changes except omitting
just the globe on the hood.  That's the ultimate in badge engineering.  The
engine - 1360 cc - was produced at least until the mid eighties.

No competition ...
