Opel does not build many cars like the Opel 5/12 PS with gasoline engine, built from 1911 to 1920 as the assembly line was turning motoring into an industry.
The background
The Opel 5/12 PS, also known as the Puppchen (German for Doll), is a small car from the German automaker Opel. It was built from 1911 to 1920 in four series. It was available as an open two seater, a Landaulet, or as a limousine.
The engineering
Under the skin sits gasoline engine. The wheelbase is 2400 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Ford Model T, the Bugatti Type 19, the Lancia Epsilon. Its Opel stablemates include the Opel Sintra and the Opel K-180.
The money
There is no federal ownership record for the Opel 5/12 PS — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
