No, that's not a typo— Chrysler made the Simca-derived Omnirizon all the way until the 1990 model year. I've been looking for a final-year example of an Omni or Horizon for quite a while now, and I finally found this one in a Denver self-serve yard over the weekend.
Would you believe an airbag in this cheap little car, as early as 1990? Standard equipment for the '90 Omnirizons!
5-speed, factory tach, no rust, only 114,325 miles on the clock.
Very, very rare, and an interesting bit of history, but not really worth saving from The Crusher.
If you want to split hairs, the Omnirizon outlived the original Chrysler K platform by a year (though cars based on the K were built until 1995). By 1987, the Chrysler 2.2— originally developed for the K-cars— was the only engine available in these cars.
Even with the airbag, the last-year-of-production Omnirizon wasn't much different from the original 1978 version. The new Dodge Omni
does it all!
