As Karosserievariante OPEL offered first only a two-seater with "„boat tail so mentioned "“. Later further models followed:

• Two-seater de luxe model: This open model had a changed tail (starting from 1925)

The car for everyone cost 4,500 pension Marks for the production start. Although little corresponded to the equivalent of a home of one's own contrary to other automobiles, this still. After 100.000 sold copies in the year 1930 the OPEL was available in the simple execution starting from 1.990 realm Marks.

The assembly-line production of the OPEL Laubfrosch is considered as the birth of the car of the small man in Germany.

The Laubfrosch was a plagiarism of the French 5CV and/or 5HP. During processes, which were aimed at at that time by the plagiarism reproach was rejected by German courts because of another form of the radiator grille. The most remarkable change was however the green lacquer finish - painted the car lemon-yellow.

Although the origin of the idiom is not completely clarified "„the same thing "“, it seems quite plausible that it is derived from the green lacquer finish of the OPEL plagiarism.

The Laubfrosch was replaced 1931 by the OPEL 1,1l, a predecessor of the OPEL cadet.
