I was just wondering if anyone knew why so many Opel ads in the late 60's and into the 70's had an elephant shown with the car? I was looking through a bunch of literature at some car shows and noticed this. This might be common knowledge for our more veteran staff here, but this guy doesn't know the answer. My Dad worked in a Buick dealership for a couple years in the mid-70's as a mechanic when Buick dealerships carried the Opel line, but didn't know the answer. There are many more examples, but I figured this would be enough to get the point across.
