1976 Oldsmobile Omega review from North America
"Good dependable transportation"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing that couldn't be expected. Almost exclusively routine maintenance.
General comments?
This was my first car. I bought it before I even had my drivers license. It was very dependable. Like most teenage boys I drove it hard and spent way too much money in trying to make it look good. For example, I drove it in a part of the country where the vehicles rust because of all the salt used to melt snow off the roads in winter. So I was always doing body work to get rid of the rust as well as marks/dents from my careless driving.
It was much better to me than I was to it! Lots of fond memories!
