From 1952, the Opel Blitz, which was built from 1930, received a new, contemporary look. The design was very similar to the American pickup trucks of the time. The vehicle, now designed for a payload of 1.75 tons, was available as a panel van and a flatbed truck. In addition, special structures such as turntable ladders, towing cranes and beverage pallets were also offered. The vehicle, popularly known as Weichblitz, was powered by a six-cylinder gasoline engine and had an impressive 58 hp.
