Long Production Run with Strong Sales
Produced from 1969 to 1977, the Admiral B enjoyed a much longer production span than its siblings and became the top‑selling car of the K80 Bay generation. Its 36,522 units outpaced the 4,976 Kapitän B and 21,021 Diplomat B built in the same period.
1972 Facelift Refresh
A major redesign, often called a “face lift,” was introduced in 1972, updating the Admiral B’s exterior while keeping the four‑door sedan layout. This mid‑cycle refresh helped sustain buyer interest throughout the model’s eight‑year life.
Part of the KAD Series and Market Context
The Admiral B was one of the three models in Opel’s KAD series, which together produced about 60,000 cars between 1969 and 1977. Even though the series was popular, German rivals such as BMW and Mercedes sold roughly five times more vehicles in the same era.
