While the General Motors never considered manufacturing a convertible version of the Opala in series, Dipave Chevrolet saw an opportunity to stand out in the market.
Inspired by a global trend, where conventional models were converted into convertibles by independent manufacturers, the dealership invested in a project that combined exclusivity and sophistication.
In Germany, where the Opala was born as Opel Rekord, the cabriolet version was manufactured outside Opel's facilities by Karmann,
company recognized for its experience in building convertibles such as the famous Karmann Ghia.
In Brazil, the Opala Summer followed a similar logic, being converted in an artisanal way and with a high standard of finishing.
You Opal Summer were luxury cars in every sense.
The conversion process involved structural reinforcements, body adaptation and installation of a high-quality canvas top.
If you are passionate about classic cars, the Opala Summer is a model that deserves your attention.
With its unique history and exclusive design, it continues to delight generations, proving that the passion for automobiles is timeless.
