In 1964, Opel introduced its first luxury model since the Second World War, the Diplomat A V8. It became the third member of the exclusive 'KAD' range. KAD stood for the Kapitän, Admiral and Diplomat equipment lines. In 1969, five years after its introduction, the Diplomat A was succeeded by the Diplomat B. The developers had completely re-done the V8 sedan.
