Theres a '37 Olympia on ebay classic motors at the moment with lots of pics that may be of use to you in your restoration. Owner has 7500 reserve on it as it comes with its original paper work and saw service in the Wehrmacht .... and then you have to get it back from Slovakia.

I've always preferred the Opel Kapitän.
Here's a rather nice convertible that will still give you change out of E100K

There is a very nice opal Kadett on ebay.de at the moment. It's one I nearly went to look at so it has been on sale for at least 2 years. Could be a bargin.

Be a pessimist and never be disappointed.
Re: opel olympia in wartime service
I like that rodded Opel - I have a nice German WWII ('44) V8 flathead ready to drop into that for the lucky buyer.
That '38 Kadett is very sweet - would be even nicer in Panzergrau
