It just escaped the junkyard.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and its coachbuilder.

Getting closer. It is Opel-based and there are some Rekord parts in there.

"Inspired" by the Martin Walter Vauxhall Cresta conversion, it seems.

This should be a conversion by Vogt Autotechnik.

They build many special Opel …

The Diplomat B was the only 'KAD-B' model with this style of headlights. Aftermarket, or is this rather a Diplomat?

I was aware of it and I'm not absolutely sure about the model, but the owner described it as an Admiral in an ad. I think he would have used the higher-valued Diplomat name if it were one.

Just by pure incidence I´ve come across this picture of another Opel Admiral "Station Wagon"- conversion.
Maybe it´s a Vogt, too.
It´s been used as a service vehicle during car races by the ONS (=Oberste Nationale Sportbehörde):

A Diplomat Kombi by Vogt. Apparently 11 Admiral and 1 Diplomat Kombi were built by Vogt-Autotechnik. Seven of them had a Rekord C Caravan back, five a Rekord D one.
