1969 Opel Diplomat V8 Copper Red in 1:18 scale
This is the 1969 Opel Diplomat V8 Copper Red in 1:18 scale by Norev.
The 1969 Opel Diplomat V8 was Opel’s flagship luxury sedan, distinguished in its era by combining German engineering refinement with powerful American-style V8 performance — a rare pairing in the European executive segment of the late 1960s. What set the Diplomat apart from many rivals was its smooth, torque-rich 5.4-liter V8 engine, which delivered effortless acceleration and a relaxed, authoritative driving character not commonly found in European sedans of similar size. Its spacious, well-appointed interior and solid build quality positioned it as a true competitor to more established luxury marques, while features like power steering and automatic transmission underscored its emphasis on comfort and ease of use. In a market dominated by six-cylinder competitors, the 1969 Opel Diplomat V8 offered a distinctive blend of performance, presence, and European sophistication.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
