 We have fond recollections of chasing classic cars in our younger days - literally we mean - as these were the days of running hard and long only to get a glimpse of a rare four-wheeler before it disappeared, on its way to adventures we dreamt of. Jorge Virdo knows the feeling. He has a camera in his pocket, though, a device not a single boy could afford in our days. Jorge writes: "These photos were taken by night with my cellphone. Sorry for the quality, but I was after this car for some time. It is an Opel. I don't know if it is pre-war or post-war." We think it's a 1938 Opel Kapitan. An unrestored one, or so it seems. What's more: this one appears to be still very much in active use, despite it being almost 80 years of age. Isn't that just fantastic? This definitely is the two-door version, with fastback styling and that lovely double rear window. We think the car used the same doors as its four-door sister, although they don't look silly on it - other then some post war cars using the same principal. Thanks for sharing your pictures Jorge! |
