"One of a kind"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The Oldsmobile Omega is a true American Xbody hybrid, looks like a Chevy Nova, but runs like new. I always attract attention while taking the ride out on Sundays. Definitely a car to be recognized, but somehow got lost in the cracks. I have had it for over 10 years and can't seem to end the love affair with this old ride. If you want to go retro, think Oldsmobile, after all they are not manufactured anymore. Makes it all the better to own.

General comments?

One of a kind, very well built.

Uh, it's a Chevy Nova with an uglier grille.

Hardly destined to go down as one of Oldsmobile's greatest models...

I love my '73 Omega, actually both of them, and the grille is WAY better looking than the Nova, and I owned a '71 Nova also, so I have nothing against them. I just think the fact that it is an Oldsmobile, makes it just a little nicer than the Nova, even though they are similar.

I also own a '71 Nova and a '73 Omega. The Oldsmobile is by far the better of the two. I love my Nova, but there are so many, that it has taken a back seat to the rareness of the Omega. The grille is not ugly, it's different. And our whole family loves it. Oldsmobile will never die.

The worst car I ever owned. You name it, it went wrong. I finally left it on the side of the freeway one afternoon, took a bus home and never saw it again. The reason you never see any of these cars on the road anymore is because they're all in the junkyard where they belong.

My first car was a 73 omega and would love to have one again. And I agree, the grille is way better than the nova.

I just got my Omega, I'm in love. Nothing like the feel of an Oldsmobile.

I owned a 1973 Omega from new and drove till 1992. I would like to see some of the new ones last that long. I had minor problems. 19 years. I loved the car, but no place or cash to restore. I put 132000 miles on it. One of the most dependable cars I ever owned. Wish I still owned it. I have 1971 Cutlass that I restored after my father gave it to me when he passed away in 1994. Two door hardtop cutlass s bucket seats red with a black vinyl top 350 rocket. This olds is never leaving me. Joe Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

I have had my 73 Omega for about six years. It was my first car and my dad gave it to me; it's awesome.

Someone ran a stop and hit me in the side of the car, and spun me around. Then I got it all fixed up and a paint job.

Then around christmas I was on the freeway and had a tire blow out; that messed up my car again.

It never ends with that car, but I will never get rid of it; it's been good to me and every one always tries to buy it from me. It's a great car.

Keep the OMEGAS ALIVE.

I bought a 74 Omega around 84. It had about 13,000 miles on it. I drove it for about 10 years putting on another 110,000 miles. I had no problems and never touched the engine. It was the best car I ever owned, and still own.
