Common references to Omni
Here are several well-known uses of the name across automotive, architectural, and hospitality contexts; attribution varies by project, so specify which Omni you mean for a precise attribution.
- Plymouth Omni — a subcompact car produced by Chrysler starting in 1978; its exterior and interior design were the work of Chrysler’s in-house design team, under the company’s product-design leadership.
