Cute pair, the early Omegas are the sharpest looking. I always liked the even earlier Venturas, before the big bumper deal. Wouldn;t it have been cool if Olds was a little earlier to the X-body party?

Wonder why there wasn't a Cadillac version of the X-body.

The Cadillac had the Cimarron. Mid sized car based on the J platform it was a huge failure.

I'm still in the thinking stages of retro bumper mods on my 74 O.
So far my winner is a blend of 68-72 bumper with a drop down for the fuel filler. Might start with fiberglass 1st. Front will just get a tuck and smooth.

Rail those look sharp together!
