What is the history of the Buick Century?
Buick Century is the model name used by the Buick division of General Motors for a line of full-size performance vehicles from 1936 to 1942 and 1954 to 1958, and from 1973 to 2005 for a mid-size car.
Many late-model Buicks are difficult to distinguish from one another. The Century features a traditional Buick look with some chrome, while the Regal had a body-colored grille. This Century also looked very similar to the larger LeSabre. Visual cues include the Century's rounder headlights and more angular grille. In 2004, it was announced that the all-new Buick LaCrosse would replace both the Century and Regal in 2005. A limited run of Centuries with special trim were produced for 2005 to mark the end of the name. The last Buick Century rolled off the assembly line on October 25, 2004.
