Background
The Opel Rekord Series B is a large family car that was introduced in August 1965 by Opel as a replacement for the Opel Rekord Series A and stopgap until the delayed Rekord C was ready for sale. Produced only until July 1966, it shared the wheelbase and 1,696 mm (66.8 in) width of its predecessor, but the front and rear panels were restyled to give it a more modern appearance.
