Christmas came early - #2

Christmas came early #2.

I decided to treat myself a little early this year and just bought myself a 1959 Opel Rekord from Nancy, Kentucky. It's an original car, all the numbers match, and it only has 18,000 miles. It has been repainted, with the original color, paint job B+. I picked up my new car with my 2 sons.

My Uncle had one ('57) almost exactly like this back in Greece, when I was little.

I'm so excited about my discovery, it's coming home!

Merry Christmas to me,

Pete

looks great Pete hope the family enjoys it

Congratulations. That sure is a nice christmas present. I remember those models from my childhood, many of them around in the neighbourhood back then. And now they are classics, and have been for a few years, time sure goes quickly.

Pete,

Nice going on the Rekord. It looks like a beauty.

Did you find the window gaskets you were looking for?

Hey Pete,
Looks like a great and very unique addition to your fine collection of Opels! How exciting! I saw the Rekord on eBay and must say it looks even better in your pictures. I bet it was fun going down with your boys to pick it up. Enjoy the car!!
