HWJOE ◊ 2013-05-21 14:52	Looks more like an Olds Omega or Buick Apollo
rjluna2 ◊ 2013-05-21 15:19	The profile does looks like 1973/74 version

I'm pretty sure Omegas didnt use wraparound taillights until 1975 and this looks like a 1973-74 instead. Any disagreements?
rjluna2 ◊ 2013-05-21 16:12	I agree with cko. Oldsmobile Omega: /vehicle_153364-Oldsmobile-Omega-1973.html Buick Apollo: /vehicle_424773-Buick-Apollo-1973.html
HWJOE ◊ 2013-05-21 16:16	I agree too, 73-74 Buick Apollo
