not an NAG or another Berlin-based brand.

Form Wuerttemberg?

Not from Baden-Württhemberg...

We still have 14 alternatives

Well, this company still belongs to GM today.

And this information is the link to the fact that not even one of those cars (Coupés,Limousine etc.) survived...

Can it be Fritz von Opel and his Regent coupé?

Exactely ! When GM bought Opel, all Regents produced were destroyed. Even those already sold were bought back and wrecked!

So not even one did survive...

Found two less-known pictures of this beautiful car:

Why?

General Motors didn't want an in-house rival.

Thank you for the photos!

If Opel was Mercedes-Benz or Audi or BMW there would have been a replica of the Regent in the company museum.

But there´s still not even an official Opel museum...

I understood that few Regents have been made and that they actually were never recalled but deemed not a succes?

This one was bodied by Kruck

Just 25 Regent built, but definitely bought back by GM.
