Help!
I was googling for a photo of the Opel I bought for $50 in 1985. I happened upon your photo of 1971 Kadett. That was my car! I was 18 and had no idea what I was driving. I never took a picture of it. The reason I was searching for the photo is that I want to document my time w/this car.

If anyone can help me find printable photo (i.e., 4x6 at 300 ppi) please email me! Thanks!

. . . but was it a 4-door like Charles'? . . . pretty rare one, most were 2-door Kadetts . . .

. . . how about this one, my '69 Kadett LS
