Opel Kadett B LS Coupe
The Opel Kadett B is the car that Opel introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show at the end of the 1965 summer.
The basic model, listed at 5,175 marks in September 1965, was a two-door “limousine” (sedan). In addition, for the first time since 1940, it was again possible to buy a four-door Kadett “Limousine”.
In September 1967, a fast rear “Limousine” model, designated “Kadett LS”, was added to the range, offered with two or four doors.
Opel also offered a two-door Kadett coupe with reduced headroom for rear passengers. The coupe body was introduced in 1965.
