Opel Olympia Rekord 2-Door 1958

Basic Information and History

This 1958 Opel Olympia Rekord is a Swedish-sold car with 80,000 kilometers on the odometer. While the mileage cannot be fully verified with documentation, the car has been carefully preserved and presents itself in excellent condition. The Olympia Rekord was one of Opel’s most popular models during the 1950s, known for its era-defining design with rounded lines and chrome details – a charming piece of post-war European automotive history.

The car is free from rust and external modifications, making it a rare, well-preserved example.

Equipment and Features

The equipment is minimal, as expected from a car of this era. Period-correct details such as the original steering wheel, trim pieces, and factory wheels are all present. No modern upgrades or modifications have been added.

Condition

The body is in very good condition with no dents, scratches, or door dings. The paintwork is free from stone chips or flaking. The windows are also in excellent condition with no damage or discoloration.

Chrome, trim, lenses, and badges show well-maintained, age-appropriate wear. The wheels are undamaged. The interior is in very good condition, with intact seats, door panels, and dashboard. The only minor downside is the headliner – it is new but poorly installed.

All controls, switches, and electrical functions work properly – including the lighting. The engine is in good condition, with no oil leaks and remains completely original, as do the gearbox and drivetrain. The brakes are in working order, and the car is fully drivable with functioning mechanical systems throughout.

Service History

The service book is not filled out according to factory intervals, and there are no receipts or records from previous services. What is known is that a recent oil change has been carried out on the engine, gearbox, and brake system. This work was performed privately.

Summary

Offered here is a remarkably well-preserved 1958 Opel Olympia Rekord – a fine example with original character, functioning mechanics, and a well-maintained body. The car is free from rust and modifications, in good exterior and interior condition, and ready for both driving and display. With a simple adjustment to the headliner, the overall impression would improve even further. A true classic for the enthusiast looking for something authentic and era-appropriate.
