Opel GT on CNN

jlthunder · 10-31-2008

I was thumbing through CNN and I found this

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bus...ef=videosearch

It takes place in Germany, but it is a GT from the states which was brought back to Germany(rear side markers).

At the end of the piece, you can see one of the reporters is stuffed into the back cargo area

Looks like a '71-early 73. Pop out windows and no markings on the fenders but it has '69-'70 wheels.

Link took me to an unrelated video...

If it was about a car chase, I fixed the link. Try again

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

It is a '73 as stated early in the report.

Still the wrong link, try this one:

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com.

And if it still goes wrong: try the search option SEARCH ALL VIDEO on the right side of the page and type in Germany. It's the video called Germany loves to motor.

That's cool, yup I caught the guy in the cargo area. It must not have stabilizer bars either!!

If you pause a few seconds into the clip, you can see what other cars are parked in the garage. Since Heidi is the owner of one of Berlin's largest Opel dealerships, I assume they are are Opels. One looks like a "Laubfrosch", a mid 20's Opel. The other one could be either a pre war Kadett or Olympia, or a 47-53 Olympia. Hard to tell by the picture quality.

Any guesses???
