A Blink‑of‑an‑Eye Production Run
The Kapitän B was manufactured for only 11 months, spanning the years 1969 to 1970. Its short lifespan makes it one of the briefest production runs in Opel’s history.
Culmination of a Luxury Legacy
The Kapitän series was a luxury executive car built by Opel from 1938 until 1970. The B version marked the end of this distinguished line that had served German buyers for over three decades.
Outlived by Its Sibling – The Admiral B
While the Kapitän B ceased production in 1970, the related Opel Admiral B continued on the market until 1976, effectively outliving its Kapitän counterpart.
A Collector’s Challenge – Hard‑to‑Find Parts
Because the Kapitän B is now a rare, discontinued model, owners often face difficulty sourcing spare parts. Restorations frequently require creative solutions, as the original manufacturer no longer produces components.
