It appears to be made from rainbows and happiness.

I don't know, I think I'd be pretty fucking happy pushing that thing back and forth with a beer in my hand.

That's what I was thinking, but the gas cap is in the wrong place.

Maybe it was changed mid-generation or something.

Missed by a generation. It's an Ascona B.

Opel Ascona A ('70-'75) has a low round one, Ascona B /Vauxhall Cavalier Mk. 1 ('75-'81) have a high square one:

It's an Opel. It would be more redneck if it was a CAMERO!!!

An Opel Ascona B coupe is like Germany's Chevy Monte Carlo; in European terms, necks don't get much redder.

(unless you have an Opel Manta, which really is a Euro-Camaro)

Vauxhalls were still different back then; they'd still sell you oddnesses like the Firenza "droop snoot" in the '70s

Vauxhalls became rebadged Opels in the early '80s.

Jesus Christ man, how hard can it be to spell the name of your favorite car correctly? I mean, it's not like it wasn't written all over the car itself to begin with.
