The end of 1933 two prototypes of the internally Opel type model mentioned in 1397 emerged with a 24 -hp 1.3 - liter engine.

The as the previous 1.2-liter Opel jointly developed by the Adam Opel AG and General Motors car had a box frame with cross traverse. A novelty for the time was the teardrop-shaped body with externally accessible trunk, hydraulically actuated brakes (before cable operated) and instead of the rigid front axle independent suspension with Opel " synchronous suspension " on the front suspension were filled in oil, horizontally movable pressed steel housing with coil springs and shock absorbers housed.

The higher engine performance was achieved using a 2.5 mm larger bore that resulted in a displacement of 1288 cc.
