After the demise of the Ninety-Eight in 1996, Oldsmobile added the Regency to the 1997 and 1998 lineups, which used the same front fenders and chrome grille as the Ninety-Eight sedan but kept the standard Eighty-Eight body. The Oldsmobile Regency has keyless entry remote fob smart keys that are onboard programmable,meaning a person can program the keyless entry remote fob smart key with no special equipment other than the keyless entry remote fob smart key programming instructions.
