Background
The Opel Rekord Series E is a large family car that replaced the Rekord D on Opel's Rüsselsheim production lines in August 1977, following the end of the summer vacation plant shut-down. It shared its wheelbase and inherited most of its engines from its predecessor, but the bodies were completely new. The corresponding Opel Commodore C was essentially identical to the Rekord E, but fitted with 6-cylinder engines.
