Catalogue information
The Opel Ascona is a family car from the 1970s Opel car manufacturer. The car is named after the Swiss town of Ascona. In the autumn of 1970, Adam Opel AG presented a completely new vehicle program in Rüsselsheim (internal project code 1450): the Opel Manta on 9 September, and the Opel Ascona on 28 October. These models were positioned between the existing Opel Kadett and the Opel Rekord. The Ascona was developed to put competitor Ford in the wheels because of its newly introduced middle class Ford Taunus. The Opel Ascona A (later types were designated B and C) remained in production until the autumn of 1975. In total, almost 692,000 vehicles of the first series were produced.
