Despite first launching the Century line-up from as early as 1936, all models featured a slight facelift some 3 years later.
Most of the modification underwent by the Buick Century were related to its exterior styling, as the new convertible coupe featured a wider front grille, lower body skirts and a 5-inch increase in length. It’s new 5.2L 8 cylinder in-line was updated to 143 hp, a good reason why this model was later nicknamed the “the banker’s hot rod”. The Buick Century was discontinued in 1942 after some rather poor sales that year.
