Vehicle Description
First appearing in the 1930s, the Buick Century nameplate was
created to commemorate the brands first model capable of driving
100 miles per hour. After a two-decade hiatus, Buick revived the
name in 1954 for their new performance offering. For 1954, Century
buyers had their choice of a sedan, a "Riviera" hardtop coupe, a
convertible, or a four-door station wagon. All body styles featured
Buicks signature plunging chrome side spear. Each Century body
styles also had stunning interiors, though the convertibles were
especially luxurious with leather upholstery, and power windows and
seats. The 1954 Century was a "three-hole" Buick, meaning that it
had three "Ventiport" holes in the front fenders. This exquisite
example, finished in stunning black over red leather upholstery has
been fully restored and drives well. Kept in museum conditions
since purchased by its current owner in 1989, this Century
convertible is a collector-quality driver that shows
beautifully.
