1968 Opel Kadett Deluxe Wagon

Description

The Kadett Deluxe Wagon is a classic compact car that gained popularity for its economy, practicality, and versatility in the mid-1960s. Produced by the German automaker Opel, this wagon variant of the Kadett offered ample cargo space and utility, making it a popular choice for families and was conveniently retailed in the United States through all of the more than 1,600 Buick dealers from coast to coast.

Under the hood, the Kadett Wagon featured various engine options with the most popular being an economical and sprightly 1.1-liter four-cylinder. With robust engineering, the Kadett was an enduring design, characterized by clean lines and functional features. Today, the rarely-seen Deluxe Wagon is a timeless classic and, whether used as a practical family vehicle or a charming vintage collectible, it continues to hold a special place in automotive history.
