Late‑1970s Launch and Radical Redesign

Introduced in 1977 (late 1977 according to some sources) the Commodore C represented a more radical departure from earlier models. It was the third‑generation Commodore and signaled a fresh design direction for Opel.

Platform Sharing and Body Styles

The C model was based on the Rekord E platform, a fact highlighted in several sources. It retained the classic notchback saloon while also offering coupe and estate versions, keeping the lineup versatile.

Limited Market Reach and Parts Challenges

The Opel Commodore was never sold in the United States, meaning owners must source parts from Germany. This has made genuine Commodore components relatively hard to find outside Europe.
