More on Opel GT
Description from Wikipedia:
The Opel GT is a two-seat sports car introduced in 1968 by Opel, a German possession of General Motors. It relied partly on components from the contemporary Opel Kadett B and had a body made by French contractor Brissonneau & Lotz.
Its styling has been likened to the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette which went on sale in September of 1968.
Although the life of the GT was limited to six model years, after a 34-year hiatus it returned as a 2007 model based on the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky, and is built alongside them in Wilmington, Delaware, USA.
