17079304 - Opel Rekord D - Orange (HO Scale)

Regardless of the spirit of the time may be, there must also be authenticity: Because the Opel Rekord from WIKING moulds glows as orange as the sun. This presence in the radiant paintwork characterises many images of the 1970s – pure flower-power feeling. The Opel Rekord D sped off the production line from August 1971 until the company holidays in the summer of 1977 – and became a million seller! The designer, Chuck Jordan, created the blueprint for the Rekord D, whose form proclaimed consistent linearity and created a significant optical distance from its predecessor. The Opel limousine matched its time unerringly because it reflected the middle class’s attitude to life. This was what made the Rekord a best seller. 1,128,196 vehicles were built up to July 1977.

Body orange. Interior, chassis, and radiator grille black. Bumpers chrome silver with black rubber trim. Wheels and side ornamental trim on window borders and doors painted silver. Door handles and petrol cap silver. Opel logo and “Rekord 1700” on rear in silver.
