The later Olympic Edition Buicks are harder to find; there are still some '88s around, but this is the first '96 I can recall seeing anywhere. Let us admire its athletic grace.

The advertising for this generation of Regal talked big about "European styling" and "Camry beating."

The subsequent generation of Olympic Regals got a bit of star power in its ads.
