Funny thing is the door handle mechanisms would wear out and you see lots of Horizon owners crawling through the hatch to get in the car.

Haha, my Dad's is like that, not a door handle on it! Haha, i was talking to the postman one day, who told me he'd seen dad crawl through the back hatch to get in it. That was the only way I could get in it too.

Sold a bucket load of those Horizons, quite a few Lasers, and a few Turismos in six mos. at a Chrysler store. The Shelby thing was called the Omni GLH in 85 & 86, I think they "updated" it to GLHS after that. The Turismo had some resemblance to the nissan Leopard. I think there was a brief period of time that the Turismo was called the 2-door Horizon (when it first came out) so that may be part of the confusion.

The Omni/Horizon thing was a great little car for the money, had the 2.2 and was extremely reliable and minimal maintenance for the first 100k. After 100 on the clock they kind of gave out. Funny thing is the door handle mechanisms would wear out and you see lots of Horizon owners crawling through the hatch to get in the car.

The Laser was a very sexy car back in the day. The turbo version had a nice bit of giddyup.

The GLHS was the intercooled version of the GLH. Shelby said it was the funnest car he ever built.
