These aren't the kind of cars normally displayed here.  The first is an Opel Kadett.  When I was hauling hay in Kansas ,I learned to drive a manual in my room mates gold  Opel. Yellow is the closest color I could find.  The Opel GT was a common sight in the neighborhood I lived in Colorado. Oddly the doors open on these two.

1970 Opel Kadett yellow with black stripes 1
1970 Opel Kadett yellow with black stripes 2
1968 Opel GT red  Hachette 1
1968 Opel GT red  Hachette 2

Those look great Grock. I know some of the Salvat models are sold under a few brand names. My Caddy is a Whitebox model.

I remember both Opels. In 1972, when I was looking for my first new car, I considered the Opel GT and test drove one. I eventually bought a Datsun 240Z.

Grock I reckon there maybe quite a few IXO, Salvat, Hachette et al fans around here. I have a heap of them. I really appreciate their variety, all types of vehicles from different countries. I have the Opel GT, nice model. I'm hoping they will give us some more British cars from the 20s to 60s. There's already a couple of Jags, Minis, and a Morris
