Eyesore in a fast curve the tail of the car seems to come around and help with steering its a good feel that it is. The springs have been stiffened by forty percent compared to the previous model its suspension its been lowered by fifty millimeters.

From the very beginning car designers have always enjoyed coming up with new colors features and profiles and just as car designs have evolved over the years so was the work of car designers these days its digitization thats making a splash design plays a key role in the high tech displays featured in cars nowadays behind the display is an onboard computing system and each function needs to specialize user interface. A look back to the one nine hundred fifty s. Shows how much has changed for example on this dashboard of a seat at six hundred. Here and you can see the very very simple. And we just when we designed it we just put the elements in some places where ever it seemed to clean because the elements are so simple are so small. We have another space to avoid it and even the radio when we sold this car there really was an extra something something to hold the car weve had a radio and then that if it gets them i wondered. About that radio. I thought that markets ocean. In the one nine hundred eighty s. Metal dashboards were replaced by ones made out of automotive plastics and the sea had he beats the radio was no longer an add on but integrated into the panel design it also sported a cassette player which meant that drivers savvy consumers the standard analog dashboard instruments are giving way to digital displays. Color designs are keeping pace here in the laboratory designers are cooking up the color schemes that will hit the market in about two years new pigments get mixed by hand or with the help of a computer then the samples are tested in automotive lacquers. The Design Division also experiments with samples to come up with their new comer palette many Car Manufacturers use color to lend their brands and models a unique appearance and for many customers picking just the right color combination is part of the purchasing decision. On the modern Assembly Line machines do the dirty work robot supply pain to in syria and syria panels they can switch to a new color scheme for the next car without even stopping the conveyor belt. So years as the bullies are mendacious the factories mixing facility has twenty six different colors they get pumped up to the robots nozzles when the color is changed the robot gets a quick wash with water soap and pressurized air and the nozzles are clean and ready to go. To. Three Assembly Lines contain up to three thousand vehicles a day. But Quality Control is still in human hands too john paints require an especially careful touch. To create them the car body is covered with for oil while the roof pamelas painted in a contrast in color here the workers check to ensure that the lacquer is perfect and that no glues spend left behind. But high tech does come into play during Quality Control this gadget for example confirms that the kohler you and application remain constant from one card to the next its an unstoppable trend for automotive designers high tech gadgets materials and colors are the wave of the future. Were taking a journey into the past in a technological trendsetter the opal olympia this one was built in one nine hundred thirty eight the olympia was a bestseller and one nine hundred thirty five the year the model was introduced it helped opel become the first german manufacturer to produce more than one hundred thousand cars a year and that made opel europes biggest automaker put out of the opel olympia its the car of our time in the mid one nine hundred thirty s. That was opals ad slogan for its new mass Production Model says vintage car expert chris duff voer it might not look very spectacular but under its nondescript exterior is a technological milestone the olympia was the first german mass Production Model to have a unitized body and uni body construction is still the standard in car making today so its a good thing to start. From the early Twentieth Century on opel was a high of innovation in one thousand and nine its two seater doctors car used in the fission Modular Construction system. And in one thousand nine hundred four opals four p. S. Nicknamed the tree frog was the first german car to roll off an Assembly Line. The olympia made state bureau in one nine hundred thirty five at the i. A. E. A. International motor show in berlin a plexiglass model showed off its truss like car body framework the body and the chassis comprised a single unit that was simply mounted onto a preassembled drive train that included the engine. But im not unfit christos tells us the models name was inspired by germanys most anticipated event of one nine hundred thirty six the berlin olympics and opal use the games to advertise the car to olympias accompanied the olympic flame on its three thousand kilometer long journey from ancient olympian greece to berlin he says back then opals ad men were just as innovative as their engineers. Another ad praises the olympians interior as says the quarter windows in front and back provide a breath of fresh air thanks to opals patented draft free ventilation system the spacious interior is said to allow complete freedom of movement making the strains of driving a thing of the past. The overlooked priestesses the opal olympia really holds the road and cant be beat when it comes to safety gear here but then the monocoque body gives the olympia a much lower center of gravity than his predecessor a whole fifteen centimeters lower in combination with the independent wheel suspension at the front and opals padded synchronized suspension that makes for great road holding but to begin with opel drivers had to content themselves with just twenty four horsepower only starting in one nine hundred thirty eight could they get a one point. Live leader four cylinder engine with thirty seven horsepower is what i give the car top speed of one hundred twelve kilometers an hour making it fit for the autobots the autobahn. As it is gives up with christoph finds the olympias design a little conservative in some places he says you can already see the influence of General Motors which bought opel in one nine hundred twenty nine but at the time the integrated headlights were considered especially innovative for you for that price they were simply mounted here at the sides of the Little Pockets as weve called what he finds most impractical is the trunk which can only be loaded from the inside about making a virtue out of necessity opal claimed this offered protection from dirt inclement weather and theft of good marketing has always been vital to selling cars. To start off with the olympia was available as a two door sedan or a convertible and one nine hundred thirty eight when the olympia underwent a facelift opel also added a four door sedan to the model range but all versions featured the novel sheet metal utilized body that reduced curb weight by a good one hundred thirty kilos compared with the cars predecessor the olympians aerodynamic front and flatter under body also reduce drag. The interior is very purist recorder worry material is robust and the more rigid passenger compartment means greater safety for those on board. If you know that krista says under the hood is one of the first crumple zones in automotive history the front part of his unitized body deforms and a controlled way if theres even a predetermined breaking point in this before it shaped front profile but there was nothing very new about the engine it was a small four cylinder engine which is one point three leaders. Displacement and twenty nine horsepower this one here was only available from one nine hundred thirty eight it was a High Performance model with a one point five liters of capacity thirty seven horsepower involved here and the cylinder had now made the olympian the best Series Production car at the one nine hundred thirty eight german alpine cup and it served as the basis for all opel four cylinder models through the one nine hundred sixty s. Early olympias had a three speed transmission but starting in one nine hundred thirty seven the model was available with a modern though somewhat notching four speed gearbox. The Previous Year opel had introduced the cadet a less costly model based on the olympia featuring a rigid x. So with leaf springs and a one point one liter engine it was opals version of the peoples car. Christo says the opel olympia really was the car of its time as the first mass production car to have a mana cons body and pointed the way towards the future because starting in the one nine hundred fifty s. University construction became the standard in modern not all making some christofias the opel olympia definitely was a milestone in automotive history but technologically progressive and rock solid olympia certainly lived up to the ad slogan the Company Began using in the one nine hundred thirty s. The reliable production resumed after World War Two and opel continued to produce this best selling model until one thousand nine hundred fifty three. And coming up on drive a sporty see.
