If you have an Opel, you probably already knew that your car hides a shark somewhere in the passenger compartment. If you don't know, you can find out now and start looking for it.

Since 2004, the 'king of the seas' has lived in every model produced by the German brand, but it is not always in the same place.

It's been 20 years of a tradition that was born with designer Dietmar Finger. On a Sunday afternoon in 2004, the German was working on the design of the new Corsa at the time, when his son entered the room, saw the sketch of the glove box he was drawing, and said to him: 'Dad, why don't you make a shark?'

Finger found his son's idea funny and ended up bringing it to life. The next day, the shark idea was presented to the Corsa's chief designer and was approved.

After the Corsa, several models were produced with hidden sharks: the Zafira, Adam, Astra, Insignia, and even the latest Crossland X and Grandland X. The tradition was created.

It is worth mentioning that the Karl, the Mokka X or the vans do not have the small shark, since they are not produced by Opel, but for Opel. Check out the images of some hidden sharks in the photo gallery above.
