Default Olds 88 LSS?

Today while driving back to work from lunch, I noticed something odd. I was following a white (roughly about a 95) Oldsmobile 88 and the only badge on the car was a LSS badge on the right side of the trunk. Is this a special model or something?

Here is the best picture I could get of the car without freaking the people out lol.

The LSS is actually an Oldmobile Eighty-Eight with some very nice upgrades. LSS was it'* own model and was also available with an optional supercharger.

Thats a 96-99 LSS. LSS was an option package from 93-95. 95 being the only year with the optional supercharger being on an 88 badged car. In 96 they became a seperate model and continued with either a NA Series 2 or supercharged Series 2. They all had 16in wheels and leather seating. Some options were, L67, power sunroof, and DVD Guidstart navigation.
