From 1971-75, the 1.9-liter Opel Ascona A was exported to the United States as the "Opel 1900" sold through Buick-Opel dealerships. All three body styles were offered at first, but the four-door sedan was dropped after 1973.
The Ascona was developed as a replacement to the Kadett but late in the car's development Opel chose to instead develop a new, smaller Kadett and instead positioned the Ascona as a competitor to the successful
Ford mid-sized Taunus range. The Opel Ascona A stayed in production until 1975. By that time, almost 692,000 vehicles of the first series had been produced.
The range featured gas engines from 1.2 to 1.9L. The 1.2L had an overhead valve head, while the 1.6L and 1.9L featured the Opel Cam-in-head engine (CIH). The CIH was a compromise effort, with the camshaft mounted next to the valves rather than above them. All used a single barrel carburetor.
Competition to this Opel wagon in 1973 included Chevrolet's Vega, Datsun's B210, Dodge's Colt, Ford's Pinto, Honda's Civic, Mazda's Savanna/808, Mercury's Bobcat, Pontiac's Astre and Toyota's Corolla.
