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 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.
The Y76 option package was changed minimally each model year.
Model year 1976 brought an updated body style, but the Y76 option package only had a minor change. Along with the chrome mirrors and argent colored wheels, the 'waterfall' style 'S' header
(grill) was now part of the package.
For model year 1977, Oldsmobile added a stainless steel roof band to the Y76 option package.
