The Opel Super 6 is an executive car which was built by the German car manufacturer Opel between 1937 and late 1938. The car was equipped with a 2.5-litre straight-six engine and had a top speed of 115 km/h (71 mph). It was available in three different versions: a 4-door sedan, a 2-door coupé, and a 2-door cabriolet. A small number of custom-bodied cars were also made by various coachbuilders such as Karosseriewerke Otto Kühn [de] and Gläser.[1]

The 2,473 cc (150.9 cu in) produces 55 PS (40 kW) at 3500 rpm. In total, 46,453 Opel Super Six were built in the two years it was available.[2]

An interesting detail was the windscreen wiper drive which received its power via a mechanical linkage from the camshaft, a solution which Opel continued to use in post-World War II Rekord models until 1957.
