Opel Diplomat V8 Coupe
The Diplomat was Opel`s luxury model. While the base versions got 2.8-liter six-cylinder, the top of the line Diplomat Coupe got Chevrolet`s 327 V8 engine. The overall design was reminiscent of Chevrolet`s mid-size and full-size models of the moment.
And with the standard Powerglide automatic transmission, you could easily mistake the Diplomat V8 Coupe for a U.S. model. However, Opel was an economy car manufacturer and the Diplomat Coupe V8 was expensive. So, they only produced 347 of them.
