IT RUNS AND DRIVES WONDERFULLY! This Buick is 77 years old. so some signs of age are to be expected! While it is strikingly beautiful. it is not a newly restored vehicle. Let me first say that nearly everything appears to be in beautiful condition. However. there are some small things that need to be mentioned here. The paint has a light metallic to it. and I do not know if it was like that from the factory. There are some paint touch ups and minor scratches. There are a few tiny dings to the stainless. The white walls were originally painted onto the tires with a special rubber based paint. Subsequent repainting appears rough. but may be able to be smoothed out. There are some scuffs and scratches to the chrome bumpers and bumper guards. The interior is in excellent condition. A later model AM/FM/Cassette radio has been installed. This Buick Century is absolutely beautiful. It would not take much to bring this Buick up to the next level! Note that we cannot confirm that the odometer reading above reflects this Buick’s actual total miles. This Buick will turn heads and gets thumbs up virtually everywhere it goes!
