A Blink‑of‑an‑Eye Model Run
The Rekord B was introduced in August 1965 and production ceased in July 1966, giving it a total production period of less than twelve months. This makes the B generation one of the shortest‑lived models in the Rekord lineup.
Part of a Legendary Eight‑Generation Line
The Opel Rekord series spans eight generations and, between 1953 and 1986, roughly ten million units were sold. The Rekord B (1965–1966) sits squarely in the middle of this successful family‑car heritage.
Rapid Succession to the Rekord C
Only a year after the B’s launch, Opel introduced the Rekord C in August 1966, replacing the B model. This quick transition highlights how rapidly Opel moved to redesign and update the Rekord platform during the 1960s.
