Anyone found any hidden sharks yet?
According to Opel, the first shark was featured on a 2004 Corsa, hidden in the glovebox. Legend goes that the idea belonged to a little boy, son of then Opel designer Dietmar Finger, who suggested the man use a shark drawing to design the shape of the glove-compartment “ribs.”
The idea was soon adopted by Niels Loeb, at the time Opel’s chief designer, who approved the wide scale use of the model, starting with the Zafira, on which no less than three sharks were hidden by interior design head Karim Giordimaina.
They've appeared on Opel and Vauxhall cars ever since.
