Lla Opel Olympia is a compact car produced by the German automaker Opel from 1935 to 1940, from 1947 to 1953 and again from 1967 to 1970. The 1935 Olympia was Germany’première voiture produite en série avec une carrosserie unitisée tout en acier (monocoque). Cette technologie révolutionnaire a réduit le poids de la voiture de 180 kilogrammes (400 lb) par rapport à son prédécesseur. La production de la conception unibody a nécessité de nouvelles méthodes de production et de nouveaux matériaux. Le soudage par points, les types avancés d’acier et une nouvelle disposition de la ligne de production figuraient parmi les nombreuses avancées introduites par l’Olympia.
