Recently, JOE was invited out to Rüsselsheim in Germany to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Opel’s design studio. Here’s a look at some of the best pics from the trip…

JOE was lucky enough to be one of the few outlets invited along and so we’ve decided to give you a look at some of the best pictures from the trip. Seeing as it was the 50th anniversary we thought we’d bring you 50 of the best pictures, in two parts.

You can read all about our trip and the processes involved in designing a car from the ground up over here.
