Dont know if you've all seen one of these before, I hadn't, but just found it looking for Omega parts on the web...



Incidentally, its an Oldsmobile, made from 1973-84. So GM already owbed the rights to the name, when they re-used it in 1986 in Deutschland.

1976?

[Diamond Black Geezer]

1984, apparently! Not exactly the most modern looking thing thing in the early 80s!!

Here's another, earlier model...

WOW .. that is a "hatchback" and a half !!!!

[Diamond Black Geezer]

I know! Its one of those 'aircraft-carrier' designs

I think the idea is you lift up the hatch, then a SeaHarrier uses it as a ramp on take-off

The two door doesn't look that disimilar from the Oldsmoble Cutlass Supreme we hired in the early 80's


Similar to this .....

Know very little about american cars (obviously can tell a camaro from a corvette, but not very clued up on the everyday saloons) but the cutlass i do know...they are pretty similar, I see what you mean.

Not for a long time...was born in New york long time ago. One of the familys on or block had a brown one.

Used to see quit a few around at that time.

So do you subscribe to the Clarkson theory, that America doesnt know how to build a good car, other than the Mustang, it's all been rubbish?

Or are you a bit more of a patriot? Im thinking Corvettes, Camaros, Lincoln Continental, some AMCs, Firebird, Plymouth Roadrunners/ 'Cuda, etc. I do quite like some of the 70s ones, like the Plymouth Fury too...

Just picking your brains, really. I used to enjoy chatting to a Californian about cars a lot at Uni, but that was a good while ago now...

Here's another, earlier model...

This is actually part of a platform sharing with the Chevy Nova (NOVA is taken to stand for: Chevy Nova, Olds Omega, Pontiac Ventura, and Buick Apollo) all had more or less the same body shell with different front and rear end treatments and each manufacturer shoehorned in their own engines. If you were really brave,you could have a Yenko Nova with a big block Chevy and over 300 bhp.

This is a relative of one of my fave 80s Yanks, the Buick Regal Turbo, also available in GNX form with a so called 278 BHP engine that dynoed somewhere nearer 350bhp.

I love my yanks, does it show?
(this is mine by the way!)
