No Rekord coupe was offered for the first time since 1961, Opel steering style-seekers to its new Manta instead.
The Rekord D shared its body with the six-cylinder Commodore B, a badge-engineering trick hidden under four-cylinder sheet metal.
The Rekord B's cam-in-head engine didn't just power this car — it stayed under the hood of every Rekord built for the next 21 years, until the nameplate retired in 1986.
Partway through its run, the humble Rekord A could be ordered with a 2.6-litre inline-six borrowed straight from Opel's flagship Kapitän.
Even this humble family Opel got the bespoke treatment: coachbuilder Autenrieth hand-built a handful of Rekord P2 convertibles, priced at nearly double a regular saloon.
Opel sold a stripped-down Rekord P1 under the Olympia name — buyers had their own nickname for it: the "Bauern-Buick," or Peasant's Buick.
