DynaMike ◊ 2010-03-19 21:20	Others with this new grille are listed as 1951+.

The cars also received a column shift. /vehicle_20773-Opel-Olympia-1950.html /vehicle_14317-Opel-Olympia-OL-51-1951.html -- Last edit: 2010-06-23 20:58:26

DynaMike ◊ 2010-03-19 23:26	@ DAF555: Thanks, I never realized that was the difference between 1950 and 1951 models. @ CougarTim: I don't think many Olympias could be found in Alaska...
Ingo ◊ 2010-03-20 00:34	Or maybe the Earthquake of 1960 in Chile?
Lateef ◊ 2010-03-20 00:40	That was my first thought as well..
