Vehicle Description
Few cars capture the effortless luxury and commanding presence of
early '70s American convertibles quite like this 1973 Buick
Centurion. A rare sight today, this grand open-top cruiser embodies
an era when comfort, power, and road presence were paramount. With
its smooth-riding chassis, spacious cabin, and muscular 455
cubic-inch V8, this Centurion convertible delivers a driving
experience that blends power with refinement-exactly as Buick
intended.
Dressed in a rich brown exterior that has been meticulously wet
sanded and buffed to a stunning luster, this Centurion commands
attention from every angle. The deep, mirror-like finish
accentuates the car's graceful yet bold body lines, while the
saddle vinyl interior invites occupants into a world of classic
American comfort. The split-bench front seat, complete with an
automatic transmission shifter on the column, speaks to the
practicality and ease of driving that Buick prioritized. The
dashboard remains in perfect condition, a rare sight in a vehicle
of this era, and the interior as a whole presents beautifully, with
all trim and upholstery showing minimal wear.
A true boulevard cruiser, this Centurion is powered by the
legendary 455 cubic-inch V8, fed by a four-barrel carburetor to
deliver the effortless torque these full-size Buicks are known for.
Mated to the smooth-shifting TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission and a 12-bolt rear axle with a highway-friendly 2.73
gear ratio, this Buick glides down the road with authority. Whether
accelerating from a stop or merging onto the highway, the big-block
V8 responds with a confident surge of power, delivering a driving
experience that is both exhilarating and refined.
As a true luxury cruiser of its time, this Centurion comes loaded
with desirable factory options. Power steering and power brakes
ensure easy maneuverability and a smooth, confident stop. The power
windows, power seat, and factory air conditioning make every drive
a comfortable experience, whether cruising with the top up or down.
The white vinyl power convertible top functions as it should,
fitting snugly with a glass rear window that offers both durability
and clarity. A convertible top boot is included, preserving the
car's clean lines when the top is down.
Adding to the enjoyment, this Buick features a retro AM/FM radio
for classic styling with modern functionality, while the original
radio is included for those who appreciate authenticity. The only
minor imperfection on this well-preserved Centurion is a single
scratch on the passenger fender, visible in photos but hardly
detracting from the car's overall stunning appearance.
A product of careful ownership and meticulous care, this 1973 Buick
Centurion Convertible is a truly well-kept example of a rare and
elegant classic. Whether you're looking to relive the golden era of
American full-size convertibles or simply want a head-turning
cruiser that offers both style and comfort, this Buick is ready to
deliver. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of American
automotive history-this Centurion is a rare gem that won't stay
available for long!
