The company pulled itself together after the war by producing medium-priced and thoroughly unexciting autos that became the favorites of German small business men, who would have felt out of place driving a Mercedes. But in the early 1960s, after the company had recovered its financial health, Opel's Ohio-born Managing Director Nelson J. Stork, 59, a veteran in G.M.'s overseas divisions...
