Time for an easy puzzle.

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

Yes, it is based on an Opel Kapitän. I need an approximate year and the coachbuilder for the point.

Locked for you.

This Kapitän was built in 1958, too, but it is not the model usually referred to as Kapitän 58.

Some days are just like this.

I saw the quiz unlocked at 1509 hrs my time.
I went upstairs to get my notes and had the answer by 1525 hrs.
I had seen some other photos that gave me my answer and went back to get those in my Dropbox.
At 1535 hrs I was ready to post my answer and the question was gone.  How it got to News, Information and Feedback I do not know.

In any case, here are two photos of the car.  As originally delivered in Switzerland and as now restored, owned by Liv Kolskår in Norway.  Of course, they are probably not the same car, it was probably built in a small series.
