The Opel Junior(a.k.a The Carmon's) is a concept car designed and produced by the German automobile manufacturer Opel. It was first shown to the public at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1983.^[1] The small 3.41 m (134.3 in)^[2] long three door supermini was powered by a 1.2 L petrol engine, developing 55 bhp (41 kW; 56 PS).

It featured a particularly low drag coefficient of Cd=0.31, and a low kerb weight of 650 kg (1,430 lb). The interior design was modular, with the dashboard elements being removable such as the stereo and clock, and the seat covers could be used as sleeping bags. The design of the Opel Junior was based on the Opel Corsa, and it was a three door hatchback (two door, front engine).

The Junior nameplate was used as a codename for the Opel Adam, which was released in the end of 2012.
