Opels from different decades
The research card roughly dates the cars between 1935 and 1980. Compare the grille, lamps, glass area and interior from two decades, and let the object information determine which model and year you are looking at.
The brand beyond the car
Posters, enamel signs, miniatures and other Opel objects show how a car brand is presented and remembered. See which visual language tries to express speed, reliability or family use, without taking that message as fact.
A living room alongside
The 1950s and 1960s living room and household objects give context to ownership and consumption. Imagine a car next to that domestic setting: what kind of household did it seem to be designed or advertised for?
