The Y76 Regional package was done by dealers in different regions across the country.  Most were limited to a couple hundred examples.

The Y76 Option

The Y76 option package was based on the Cutlass 'S' model.  Included in the option package were argent colored wheels, dual chrome sport mirrors, and the 'S' waterfall header.  Most also had the small rectangular opera window and a half vinyl top.  There were minor differences for each model  year.
