Vehicle Highlights
Introduced in 1982, like the related Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, Chevrolet Celebrity, and Pontiac 6000, Buick's version of the front-wheel drive intermediate was a longer, plusher derivative of GM's ill-fated X-car family. Facelifted a bit in '89, the Century came in coupe, sedan, and station wagon form. The Custom series included all three body styles, while the more costly Limited skipped the coupe. Air conditioning was standard.
