1909 Opel 4/8 PS Doktorwagen

Here's a 1909 Opel 4/8 PS Doktorwagen at a retro motors show in Moscow.



The Opel 4/8 PS Doktorwagen (doctor's car) is an automobile from the German automaker Opel.


The two-seater Opel 4/8 PS was small and agile compared to other cars of this time and was used by many doctors for house calls whereby the vehicle quickly got the nickname "doctor's car".

The low price of 3,950 Mark made it a very successful model.

The doctor's car was the first car from Opel, which bore the Opel lettering on the radiator.

Opel campaigned for the Type 4/8 PS (hp) with statements, such as "Simple mechanism", "Incredibly easy to use", and most of all: "Without using a chauffeur" aka "drive yourself".
