The Opel Rekord Series E is a large family car introduced in 1977 replacing the Series D. Cars shared the same wheelbase and inherited most of the engines from its predecessor, but the bodies were completely new. The Rekord E's nine-year production run was far longer than that of any previous generation of Opel Rekord. It became the third Opel Rekord to exceed a million units produced, but it took longer to reach that target with that figure also including the its Vauxhall Carlton sister model which was produced for the UK market.
The Rekord E was sold in the UK badged as the Vauxhall Carlton, initially identified by a reworked bonnet/hood panel, and after 1982 differentiated by little more than the badges. Despite the UK branding, the Carltons were all produced at Rüsselsheim, leaving Vauxhall's British plants to concentrate on Cavaliers, Chevettes, Vivas and their successors.
The monocoque steel bodied cars offered seating for five and was available with two or four doors although by now the German market tastes were falling in line with other countries and were beginning to show a preference for their larger cars to have four doors. The four-door Rekord comfortably outsold its two-door sibling. Saloon production was 769,086 cars, split between 127,544 2-door cars and 641,542 4-door cars.
In September 1982, the Rekord E received a major upgrade and was marketed as the E2 The new car shared the basic chassis components from the E1. The shape of the central portion of the car was unchanged. But there were several new engines, and the front hood was reshaped to give a smoother profile, the boot line was 20mm higher than before
The E2 also marked the end of Carlton production at Vauxhall's Luton plant - with the Vauxhall brand dropped in all GM Europe markets outside the UK, all Vauxhall Carlton-badged Rekord E2s were now also assembled at Rüsselsheim. This would continue for the next two generations of Opel Omega which followed.

1966 Chrysler V8 Valiant AP6 Wagon
The March 1965- March 1966 AP6 was an update on the AP5. The AP6 got a new split grille (similar to the Plymouth Barracuda), new bonnet and new front guards.
The Standard Valiant and the upmarket Regal were carried over from the AP5 in either sedan or Safari wagon (the Regal got more brightwork, better interior and auto trans).
With the AP6, a V8 was now available, it was a model in its own right; the V8 Valiant.
Early build wagons used 1965 US Plymouth Valiant wagon-style tail lights. Later Chrysler Australia invested in new tooling for the wagon rear sheet metal, allowing the use of sedan rear doors and vertical style tail lights. The new pressings required revised rear cargo area side windows and rear bumpers were also redesigned.
Engines; 145hp 225 cu in slant 6 cyl or 180hp 273 cu in V8
Valiants were assembled at Todd Motors in New Zealand from 1963-79.

Not a lot of time today so a quick trip to the cemetery to look for fungi. Not too much about as it hasn't rained for a few days but found these. Clustered Bonnets?
