1973 Oldsmobile Omega Dealership Promotional Sales Training Film ( Restored )

[@V8Power5300]

Damn, that transmission test is brutal

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

I can defiantly say they can take it. a friend of mine used to do this all the time except

[@jefweb5043]

Those TH400's especially were brutes! I mean, I felt bad power-braking my '78 Monte with the TH350...good night! The full throttle back & forth takes the cake.

[@stkyfngrszmooth]

I was waiting for it to explode. At full throttle, I felt equally bad for both the tranny AND the engine. They don't build them like this anymore.

[@eddiestanley135]

The same test on modern transmissions would last about five seconds and end in catastrophic hilarity!

[@georgewilson1184]

Don’t be fooled they probably went threw a dozen trannys & overheated 7 or 8 engines until they achieved the prescribed results they were looking for LOL !!

[@manbunmullet372]

It looks so good with Olds rally wheels, they are such nice design.

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

They are classic

[@elfthreefiveseven1297]

I had the same wheels on my 1987 GMC S-15. Painted silver and black and with a different center cap. Cost me just over $100 to replace one I damaged.

[@stkyfngrszmooth]

They're beautiful in my book. I had these on my Cutlass Supreme, and they matched the car perfectly.

[@jayelbee1111]

Each GM division during the early late 1960s to 1970s had their own distinctive rims. I think Buick had the best-looking rims, with the chrome and black inserts, followed by Chevrolet with their chrome rims, then Pontiac with their Cragar-styled rims, then Oldsmobile with their rally rims. Cadillac didn't have any rims during that time, but I did like their body-colored hubcaps

[@joeseeking3572]

Love how Olds thought fit to show a promo model with misaligned body side moldings - just like you could get from the factory. I also remember GM regularly misaligned power window and lock door controls in that era. With such 'quality' was it any wonder......

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

the fit and finish back then wasn't to today's standards

[@LearnAboutFlow]

@@theemulsionalchemist5688 True, but GM knew full well how you could rig filming and 'stats' to make the car seem great. They should have just fixed the trim for the photoshoot. But no one cared them because GM was still a big seller.

[@johneddy908]

Omega marked Oldsmobile's return to the compact/economy segment after a nine-year hiatus.

[@sodiebergh]

Great video, terrific job on the restoration. Love the music, too. Thanks for posting 🤗

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

Thank you very much! Glad you are enjoying them too; these films are fun to watch

[@tdelorean2071]

Thank you so much posting these clips! Every morning i take my coffe sit down by my fireplace and watch. Makes me want to go back to these times.

[@jaymes1]

Never realized how Luxurious they were👍

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

olds was always a step above chevy

[@tobyl55]

I love these videos. Thanks so much for caring for them and uploading them.

[@loveisall5520]

I dated a girl in college in the 70s with an omega. Of course, it’s a re-badged nova, but the nova was a good car. She loved it. I think showing this torture test of this transmission on here is the height of stupidity and marketing, whether it is meant for the public or just for dealers.

[@karlhungus5554]

Okay, you convinced me. I'll take one.

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

worth every penny

[@youtoobe169]

Thanks for posting this!

[@georgewilson1184]

The Omega factor !

[@oliverrojas3185]

Thanks, nice ad

[@jeffc7486]

Lol now i know where stuntman and camera man got there neutraldrop origins from. 😂😂

[@rightlanehog3151]

The longer I look at the Omega, the more appealing the Cutlass becomes. Though an Omega with a Rocket 350 has some merits, I would pay a little more money and get a lot more Oldsmobile.😉

[@georgewilson1184]

It’s a Nova in disguise and brother to Appolo & Ventura

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

a GM platform car

[@jayelbee1111]

General Motors X-Body. The Ancronym "NOVA" actually represents each of the X-Body models: (Nova, Omega, Ventura, Apollo)

[@johndyson4109]

I had a 77' with a 327 small block G.M. motor, racing cam. 4 barrel, dual exhaust and headers. Pozzy rear end and 3 speed hydromatic tranny.. Red on Red..

[@georgewilson1184]

The Buick Apollo was the least popular just look around in that time period Novas every where followed by Ventura/Phoenix then the Omega the Buick version got 86ed first naturally

[@ab348]

I was unfamiliar with the Olds "Value Rated" branding for used cars.

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

i think GM used "value rated" on all their lines

[@ab348]

@@theemulsionalchemist5688 Chevrolet dealers always used “OK Used Cars” for their used operations.

[@henrybourdon6712]

I enjoyed a 1970 350 rocket F-85 auto. Still rebuild and drive classics to this day except winter. That is the job of my 4x4 Dodge. Would take this or a Buick and Pontiac over a Nova but can admit would not shun a nice Nova if it came along.

[@LearnAboutFlow]

Guess those quality inspectors were drunk or high when the red car was built. Look at the misaligned trim at 2:56 min. Truly shocking they would put that in a promotion film the customer was going to watch.

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

if you saw the chevy mini theater system then you would see that the bad fitting body parts would have not been noticed

[@barryorange]

Wow, for once someone pronounces it right. I remember this car ('80 model). Grew up with one for several years. Not too reliable but still nostalgic

[@Harold_gooberson]

I have one and it has never given me a problem it’s my only car and I have the rocket 350 engine

[@kalanikaau1]

Besides the V8 engine differences from each division, it's still a fckn Nova...

[@JohnShinn6078]

Fancy Nova?

[@joealvarez4157]

Yep

[@theemulsionalchemist5688]

overpriced fancy nova

[@elfthreefiveseven1297]

Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick and Cadillac would all sell a version of it. Restyled and trimmed to represent their market segment.

[@thecreature7856]

Not caddilac this early

[@JohnShinn6078]

I know of no Cadillac based on the Chevy Nova. Cimmaron, yes, based on the Chevy Cavalier.

[@pl5624]

I'd go Ventura instead.

[@1983jblack]

If I had to choose from anything from this generation, I'll take a '74 GTO
