I remember seeing a picture of this car in another thread earlier.
Opels were very popular in India, and sold well upto WW II. After the war a few did come in, but most in Goa. Opels thereafter were rarely seen, with the exception of the 1968 Rekord of which there were quite a number.
Before WW II the most common Opels seen in India were this Olympia and the P4. Few of other models were seen, I have a rare 1938 Admiral, probably the only one left.
But there were many other German makes present in India with dealership networks and a huge presence. Adler, DKW, Wanderer, Mercedes-Benz, Hansa, Hanomag were all here. I do not know who sold Horsh and Maybach's in India.
Survival rate of Adler, Mercedes, DKW is relatively good, of the others only a few numbers survive.
