Description
At a time where overtly selling performance was beginning to be a bad thing in the United States, Buick announced the replacement for their performance-oriented 'Wildcat' in 1971. The new Centurion was a full-sized offering available in hardtop coupe, sedan and convertible forms. The luxury-oriented Centurion initially only came with the massive 455cu in big-block V8, though later the 350cu in V8 was slotted in as the standard motor with the 455 remaining optional. A three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic was standard fit, with power front discs and variable-ratio power steering also included. Trim was a choice of vinyl or a cloth/vinyl blend. Centurions were only built between 1971-1973, making them quite rare when compared to similar cars of the era.
