The Artz Cordett is in fact no Opel Kadett E, it looks just like one.
Günter Artz was the CEO of the legendary Volkswagen dealer in Hanover Nordstadt, Germany,
who built several very special one-offs in the 1970s/1980s. This is one of these one-offs,
Artz took the chassis, engine and transmission of a Chevrolet Corvette and installed a modified
body of a Opel Kadett E a very common compact vehicle. This combination made a inconspicuously looking car
very fast.
