Brazilian Chevrolet Opala 1972

[palat]

The Opala was a Brazilian version of the Opel Rekord, produced from 1969 to 1989, retaining the basic shape with front/rear end variations. In its last days the design was heavily outdated but had -- still does -- a legion of fans. Some of which requested a model, os here it is. I myself learned to drive on one of these. This is the cheapest, low-budget version.
Polymodeled in Max 5.0, rendered with VRay.
Thanks for watching.

Something is missing, but I can't figure out what, since both the model and render look great!

Hmm neh, it's not the plate.. Maybe it's the paint, or environment.. Maybe that's it! These aren't the ususal palat-renders with the black background and white reflection plane.. hmmm

As for the model, it is really that bare. Very little chrome, and you know how i love chrome.

Nice, really nice, although it was really rare to see matching color rims on these by stock... most of the time people used to paint they later...

anyway... i hope i see a SS version showing soon here ops:

No problemo! I'm always excited when I see that you've posted new models here

Great work. I've always wanted to ask you a question. How many completed cars do you have already? A lot, right? :wink:

Keep doing "your thing". Nice to see old cars modelled.

looks good, but I think there is a mistake with the rearlight, but maybe the car was different in germany.

Old topic and it is indeed different in brazil, FG
