A Brief History: "Recap the Classics"
In the late 1960s through the early 1970s, Opel was General Motors' key European brand, and the Kadett, GT, and Manta were some of the most iconic models to roll off the assembly line. These vehicles were known for their compact design, efficiency, and sporty handling. The dog dish center caps served as a simple yet stylish accessory, adding a touch of class to Opel’s more minimalist wheel designs. While muscle cars across the Atlantic boasted flashy, oversized hubcaps, Opel kept it subtle with these compact, no-nonsense caps, which became synonymous with the brand’s efficient, functional design philosophy.
