 If you want a nickname, rather 'Gills Coupe' in the US?

 According to the comment here, DynaMike states that 1967 was first year in US. Others we have listed as 1966:

Did this English version of the nickname exist?

In some places they are still used but unsure if that was the official name

 I've never heard those names used over here, it was the Deluxe Sport Coupe and Rallye

The brochures for both 1966 and 1967 show fender badges of "Kadett L"

The trim level for the Coupe in DE was AFAIK L (please don't list as AFAIK L), so Deluxe Sport Coupe would fit. But, strangely, Deluxe is not used even as an option in the brochure shown above, for the two-door (optional) and four-door sedans it is. In the second ebay brochure it is called Deluxe Sport Coupe.

 Opel Kadett, Buick's Opel Kadett or Buick Opel Kadett in the US?

 Just Opel Kadett. The Buick Opel by Isuzu (1976-79) was a different model all together.

I think this was settled a while back, the German-made ones were Opels, the Japanese ones were Buick/Opels.

 1966 ad above uses Opel Kadett by Buick, so it would fit well
