Welcome aboard!
I had a friend here that had an Opel GT. Neat little Car!

We said:
German Styling gets the girls.

Sounds  like some nice cars.
Check out this pictures I found of them. I was curious what they were.
Chevrolet V-8's in the Diplomat-B..
Admiral Photos were a little harder to find
Is your Record an Old one like this?

Those cars are COOL!  They look pretty light as well.  I'll bet they are strong performers with the 327 V-8 engine.  The 327 Chevrolet small block engine was one of the best engines ever produced, IMHO.  The Chrysler 340 engine is another........Cliff
