    1967 Opel Kadett Was Such A Mini-Brute, It Had To Be Washed By Elephants!

    One can only imagine the brainstorming sessions that raged among Buick's marketing execs when they tried to sell the Kadett to Americans. Why not use elephants? Everyone likes elephants!

    We're a little disappointed that GM didn't recycle the "Mini-Brute" name for later vehicles. What if the Vega Kammback had been the Vega Mini-Brute instead?
