On the bench today is a Matchbox Opel Diplomat. According to my Wiki research, it’s a luxury car manufactured by Opel from 1964 to 1977. Opel's top-ranging models were traditionally the Admiral and Kapitän, introduced in 1938 and 1937 respectively. In 1964 these models were joined, in the so-called "KAD" (Kapitän, Admiral, Diplomat) range, by the new Opel Diplomat. In most respects the three were badge-engineered versions of the same vehicle.
The Diplomat was available with 2.6-litre or 2.8-litre in-line six-cylinder gas engines (100 or 125 hp). A deluxe Diplomat Coupé, with a 4.6 litre V8-Chevrolet small-block 327 teamed with a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission producing 190 hp was also available from 1965 to 1967 in limited numbers. Only 347 Coupés were built by coachbuilder Karmann and cost DM 25,500 (as much as seven Volkswagen Beetles).
Guinness is an Irish dry stout that originated in the brewery of Arthur Guinness at St. James's Gate, Dublin, Ireland, in 1759. On December 31,1759 he signed a 9,000 year lease at £45 per annum for the unused brewery. Ten years later Guinness exported his first shipment of six-and-a-half barrels to Great Britain.
Guinness & Co. Brewery makes almost €2 billion worth of beer annually.
The Guinness Storehouse is a tourist attraction at St. James's Gate Brewery in Dublin, Ireland. Since opening in 2000, it has received over 20 million visitors.
