Centurion was Buick’s replacement for the rather successful and invigorating Wildcat which was derived from otherworldly mid-fifties fiberglass concept cars. Like the Buick Wildcat, Centurion too had its roots in mid-fifties concept car. This time, it was the 1956 Centurion concept which foresaw the future by offering the very first rearview camera...
As was a custom among the U.S. automakers back then, Buick downsized its intermediate lineup in 1978. They also downsized the engines, hence big-block disappeared completely. But unlike the Regal, which immediately got a turbocharged V6 version of the 231 cu in V6 mill, Century needed to wait another year. 3.8L turbocharged V6 finally arrived in 19...
First generation Skyhawk was nothing other than badge-engineered Chevrolet Monza – itself based on rather infamous Chevy Vega. But, while Chevrolet sold around 700,000 Monza’s, and Pontiac sold around 400,000 Sunbirds, Oldsmobile and Buick only managed to sell around 125,000 Starfires and Skyhawks each, respectively. So, in order to boost sales of ...
Buick’s full-size wagons disappeared completely after 1964 and wouldn’t appear again before 1970. For one year only, Buick Estate Wagon was offered on Wildcats and LeSabres, sharing their B-body frame, 124-inch wheelbase and 220-inch total length. They would move on to the larger C-body Electra line the following year where they’d receive 127-inch ...
Somerset first appeared as a model of its own in 1985. During 1980 and 1981 model years, however, Buick used the moniker as a special edition package under the Regal badge. As if that wasn’t confusing enough, Somerset actually started out as Somerset Regal in 1985. Buick quickly saw the error of their way and subsequently renamed the compact front-...
Century stands out as one of the most memorable classic Buick nameplates in history but not all Buick Century’s were equally impressive. However, whenever Buick combined this nameplate with the Gran Sport – another recognizable Buick moniker used on high performance cars – you knew you had something great. Sadly, they’ve only done it twice. First t...
Reatta is another short-lived Buick that could have achieved so much more. But we also have to be realistic here. In the era of Cadillac Alante, Pontiac Fiero, Ford EXP and numerous imported 2-seaters, Reatta never really stood a chance. Especially considering Buick wasn’t known for offering such setups in their cars. 2-seater was initially offered...
Buick rarely dabbled with special edition packages, and it’s a pity. Especially considering how beautiful LeSabre Palm Beach is. Part of the downsized fifth generation LeSabre lineup, Palm Beach coexisted with turbocharged Sport Coupe models. Yet, Palm Beach appearance package only came with naturally aspirated models. That might just be the main r...
Maybe first generation Monza-derived Buick Skyhawk didn’t offer a turbocharged engine, but tri-shield badge took precautions not to make the same mistake again. Second generation J-body Chevy Cavalier-inspired Skyhawk corrected that mistake. It did have to wait two years before receiving a turbo, but better late than never. Especially since 1.8L in...
Although Buick discontinued larger wagons in 1964 and only reintroduced them for 1970 model year, smaller mid-size Sport Wagons were still available. However, the same way they axed the full-size wagon, Buick also discontinued the smaller option after 1972. Sport Wagon would, however reappear once more between 1978 and 1981, before completely disap...
