What was the Blitz classic vehicle?
The Opel Blitz was a series of trucks produced by the German automaker Opel from the 1930s to the 1970s. The name "Blitz" is German for "lightning", and the range was launched initially in 1930.
Here are more specific details about the Blitz Truck:-
- Engine & Performance: Initially, it had a 2.5-litre petrol engine, which evolved to incorporate more powerful engines during its production span. During the war years, due to shortages, there was a version powered by a wood gas generator.
- Usage in World War II: Its widespread use by the German forces in World War II made it one of the iconic vehicles of that era. It was used in various capacities, including transport trucks, mobile flak guns, and ambulance services, showcasing its adaptability and versatility.
- Production Locations: Though primarily manufactured in Brandenburg, production moved to other sites, including Rüsselsheim during WWII.
- Design Evolution: Across its production timeline, the design evolved significantly. The original models bore a more traditional 1930s design, but the 1960s versions had a much more modern, streamlined look.
- Post-War Era: In the post-war period, the Blitz became popular for commercial and military use in Germany and other parts of Europe.
- End of Production: The production of the Blitz finally ended in 1975, marking a notable run in terms of longevity for a commercial vehicle series
