Product Description

――Based on the Opel Super 6 that appeared in 1937, there was a growing desire within Opel to create a successor car that pursued aerodynamics.
――It is highly possible that this was the request of Georg von Opel himself.
--Rüsselsheim (Opel's hometown) management, like other major German manufacturers, said about passenger cars that can ensure high-speed average speeds as the German highway network (Autobahn, Germany) develops. I was thinking.
--Georg von Opel has contacted the Carbody Shop [Dear & Shrek] in Frankfurt on the river Main.
--At Deer & Shrek, owners Jacob Deer and Matthias Shrek are enthusiastic about designing the ideal car shape from an aerodynamic point of view, and renowned car designer Reinhard Freyhair König. Succeeded in acquiring von Faxenfeld as a body designer.

――In 1937, he was inspired by Jarley's idea to design an aluminum body based on the Opel 6.
--The signature of the design drawing says [Entw. Einer Jaray stroml. Karosserie auf Opel-Chassis 2 Liter ...] (a blueprint of Jaray's streamlined body based on the Opel 2 liter chassis). ..
--This striking drop-shaped design was slightly arranged at the Frankfurt factory in 1938 and used in two models.
――The maximum speed exceeded 160km / h, and the design that applied the principle of aerodynamics was as expected, but continuous production was not done.

――After that, not only were both of them forgotten, but they were probably scrapped.
――Currently, it is known that none of these two streamlined cars exist.
