Hi all, 
Whilst sitting at my desk today attempting to get a program to span multiple 
monitors, I took a moment to think about the time I spent in Europe...
Well, the skinny was at the time I owned a verry rough '53 3600 here in the 
states, and knew a little about the AD's, like I love the body style.... 
ANYWAY, the position that I held required the maintenance of about 16 OPEL 
CORSA's and because we had such a large fleet of OPEL's, the OPEL corp 
invited us to a free round of golf at one of Brussel's newer golf courses, I 
don't turn down anything free so off we went.  Well the skinny of it is that 
we watched a video about the history of the OPEL (GM Europe) Mark, and they 
showed some photo's of OUR TRUCKS, this was quite a shock!   I mean this was 
the real deal, at 80% scale.  The trucks were just plain smaller than our 
Beasts, but the look was unmistakenly AD.  Has any one ever seen one of 
these, the photos were not dated but I believe that the time was about the 
same, the photo's were black and white and they were of the assembly line.  
Again I ask am I the only one that has seen these?
I will investigate the web further for pictures....
Just remembering...
