The Opel Rekord Caravan of the model year 1960 encapsulates an impressive combination of technology, service ideas, and Economic Miracle optimism. Operating as an on-call vehicle of Opel’s express service, it typified reliability and customer proximity – values that fortified Opel’s reputation as a modern high-volume brand at the time. The service car was based on the Rekord P2, which boasted generous panoramic windows, clear lines and an American-influenced design that made it one of the most popular mid-size cars of its era. The Caravan trim of the Rekord passenger vehicle married comfort with outstanding everyday usability. The spacious cargo space offered enough room for tools, spare parts and service equipment - ideal conditions for mobile workshop use. The unmistakable look of the Opel Express Service turned the caravan into a rolling flagship of the brand. It was deployed wherever quick assistance was needed: in the event of breakdowns or maintenance work or for short-term repairs directly at the customer. WIKING has furnished their pastel blue model of the original with an authentic appearance - including the contemporary Opel trademark, the express service lettering, and the “tinted” station wagon portion. And, naturally, with no C-pillar. Today, this classic service vehicle recalls a time when customer service was visible, personal, and mobile. The Caravan thus serves as an authentic representative of the everyday automobiles that shaped the history of the Economic Miracle decades.
