My new Car - 1939 Opel Kapitän 4 Door Sedan - Rear interior.JPG [1/1]
Last week I bought this little baby, or should I say this old Lady, as the previous owner called
her. In 1939 this was the car for the upper middleclass. It was a modern car with unibody and OHV engine. The engine is an inline 6 with 2473 ccm (151 CI) and 55 HP The look is obviously influenced by the American owners, General Motors, but the size is only 85 - 90 % of an Chevrolet or Pontiac. Length = 4620 mm (181 7/8") Width = 1660 mm (65 3/8") Higth = 1575 mm (62") The was in use up to 1960. Then was parked for 30 years. I have a certificate that prooves that the engine got a total renovation in 1959. The rest of the car was restaurated from 1991 to 1994. Since then nothing but ordinary service and a new radiator has been done to the car. Some of the chrome parts, such as hupcaps and handles, need new chrome. The engine leaks a little bit of water from behind the waterpump. Besides that I am going to replace a few non original parts in the car. Have a nice day Verner |

I know, and I was rather surprised not to see one but I guess the Amiral was
above this in the range so maybe armrests were reserved for that model. Still, it's a beauty even without any armrests and I'll bet it's comfortable too. We expect to see lots of pictures.... max "Verner Johnsen" > wrote in message news > On Fri, 29 Aug 2008 22:24:18 GMT, "Verner Johnsen" > > wrote: > > Sorry Tony, > > No folding armrest ) > > -- > Regards Verner, |

Yes, that's what I remember you looking like.
Sorry, it must have been the angle and the sun/shadow in the previuos pic. TS "Verner Johnsen" > wrote in message ... > On Tue, 2 Sep 2008 16:38:56 -0500, "ThomasS2" > wrote: > >>What, no mustache.

That's a great family picture, Verner. I hope you enjoy the Kapitän so much
that eventually you'll pass it along to the grandchildren. That would be an amazing legacy. max "Verner Johnsen" > wrote in message ... > On Tue, 2 Sep 2008 16:38:56 -0500, "ThomasS2" > wrote: > >>What, no mustache.

Congratulations Verner. It's an exciting time watching the generations
continue to move forward. You have every reason to be a very proud Grandfather. It seems that with the introduction of the Opel into your family, you are successfully moving in both directions. Good work in every respect! Peter C "Max Magister" > wrote in message ng.com... > That's a great family picture, Verner.
