The history of Opel Motors dates back to 1863. The founder at the time, Mr. Adam Opel of Germany, founded his own sewing machine company after designing and manufacturing sewing machines, and then he began to design bicycles. The booming business gave him hundreds of employees and the assets of tens of thousands of sewing machines. In 1899, the growing Opel company began to enter the automobile manufacturing industry. The earliest Lutzman car at the time was a three-seat, 3.5-horsepower single-cylinder engine convertible, which was also one of the earliest cars in the world. To date, Opel has produced 1 million sewing machines, 500,000 bicycles and more than 50 million cars.
