My parents bought me and my older sister the exact same car color everything in 1986.....I loved that car....so many memories wish I could go back in time

I ordered brand new in 1980. Two door Omega. It was a great car for me. Thank you

Car in great condition to have 40 years. The bumpers fillers that usually flake off seems solid. In 90s in Italy I have had an Olds omega coupe brougham two tone colours (gold and brown) with vinil top of 1981 with AFI plate (I was an Italian Nato soldier), bought from an American officers, and the few mechanic problems were the latches of the front seats, the headlights closed without possibility to change the lamp (so I installed two light of Fiat 131 - called in USA Fiat brava), the bumper fillers (rebuilt by blacksmith a in steel inox). Apart the oil change, never a mechanic problem of the v6 engine.

This appears to be in amazingly nice shape!

I bought an ‘80 Omega in 1987 as a school commuter car. Had it for five years, it was a great car. Had a V6 so it was very peppy.

My aunt had a 1980 Omega Brougham! Tan outside, blue inside. I drove it a good bit. It was a nice car!

Do you still own it? I remember dad ordered a two door '80 Omega that we had 12 years. Good car and still running strong when traded in.

Unfortunately I don't, about 8 months after this video, someone bought it off me.

[@miguelkiritouchiha2162]

So y’all think dis is a good car cuz I found one for 2k n I love old school cars

[@azoreanblade2]

Common issue is with power steering, such as being ultra stiff or the pump groaning. Mine here has a slow leak where I have to refill periodically. Otherwise the v6 engine is solid with regular maintenance.

[@knitterscheidt]

gee I wonder why Olds was discontinued?

[@dmer-zy3rb]

mostly i guess because it was 100% unnessesary in the GM line (despite building decent cars) with zero features setting it apart from buick. then GM finally ponied up the cash to close the shop.
