Buick Centurion

The Centurion was an American full-size vehicle made by Buick, a division of General Motors in 1969 and was considered as one of the biggest and most powerful engine during that time. The Buick Centurion replaced the Buick Wildcat. Upon first look, the Buick Centurion was said to be relatively similar to the Buick LaSabre, still most considered the Centurion unique. It housed three different engines that can produce 228 up to 264 hp, all at 7.5 liters.

The Buick Centurion came in three trims: the two door, four door hard tops, and the convertible. All three had different characteristics particularly the hard tops and the convertible. The four-door hard tops were known for its reliability and engine power. Speed also separated the four-door from the rest with its ability to go 120mph with ease. Interior room that can accommodate up to 6 passengers gave the hard tops a distinction. The convertible on the other hand had very stylish contours that were exemplary for a full size car. It could accommodate up to five passengers comfortably.

In 1974, the Centurion production was discontinued together with other big-engine cars at that time. As the market preference drastically changed, the Centurion lost its popularity. There were a total of 110,000 Centurions made, 10,000 of which were the convertibles making it one of the most sought-after Buicks today.
