OMF | Das Opel-Modell-Forum

Hallo,

I have encountered the interesting list of the Opel models. They are 1/87, but it’s not the point. There are many interesting objects like the Opel Kapitän Kombi Miesen Polizei, Feuerwehr und Rotes Kreuz among others. I was not aware the Opel Kapitän 1951 was available with Kombi body, and quick googling returned no result.
So, the question is: how authentic are these models? Is there any photo of the prototype? The Polizei one would be the most interesting, but any others are wecome too.
Here is the link: http://www.mfredrichmodelle.de/contents/de/d110_01.html

Best wishes, George

Hi George,

I have never seen any pictures of the original cars, but this doesn't mean anything.
A quick search via google brought me to this picture - a version of the german fire brigade (or maybe an ambulance).
The car was also made by Miesen, but it's the earlier version of the Opel Kapitän, from 1950:

Hi Gerhard,

Thank you! Yes, this one is very interesting too.

Hi Claus,

Thank you! I see, it's the top right photo on the second image. Is it the police car or just a civil kombi variant? May I ask you what does the image annotation say?
The first one should be a hearse and therefore it's elongated a bit, am I correct?

Best wishes, George.

The two pages are from a book about hearses....

Thank you! Sure. It seems so obvious now, but for some reason I missed it at the first glance.

Just in case someone would be interested, here is the book.
