	Buick Century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The basic formula for the 1936-1958 Buick Century was established by mating the smaller Buick Special bodies to the large block Buick eight cylinder engine.
		Buick used the small Chevrolet body on their Special and Century line, while incorporating a larger body of the same style manufactured by Buick on the Roadmaster and limited.
		Buick's 1959 complete line-up name changes retired the Century name for full-sized cars, replacing the 'most spirited Buick' with the Buick Invicta series.

	Buick introduced '61 compact just for a Skylark
		Buick carefully said the "revolutionary'' Special "makes no compromise with old concepts'' and had "fun-sized dimensions.'' Buick made sure it was solidly built and had lots of sound insulation material so occupants would feel as if they were in a bigger, quiet car.
		The Special also was conventional, although it had a new, light, economical V-8 from GM Engineering that produced 155 horsepower and also was used in the F-85.
		A sporty Special Skylark coupe arrived in the spring of 1961.

		The blocky, broad-shouldered Buick not only had a similar physique, but like Crawford’s Mathews, was a no-nonsense, kick-ass law enforcement tool at a time when sorting out the bad guys from the good guys was as fl-and-white as its paint job.
		They were special Buicks, but not exactly Buick Specials, because they mated the base Special two-door sedan body and chassis, which normally carried a 264-cid 188-hp V8, with the larger, 322-cid 236-hp engine of the more expensive Century, Super and Roadmaster models.
		Buick will focus its national advertising and nearly one-fourth of its budget on the new Lucerne sedan in the first quarter of 2006.

		I bought this buick so that I could get some work done on my other project but I had so much fun toying with the buick that I've not done much of anything to the old 55 f100 I've been trying to finish.
		The next big ticket item for the buick will be the airbag suspension, which may have to wait until I finish the f-100 project that I've been neglecting since I brought home the buick.
		Now that the Buick is proving to be a reliable means of transportation I'll feel comfortable taking the truck apart and getting it ready for paint and interior.

		Joseph D. Turlay, Buick's top engine designer of the period, responding to Buick's need for an engine for the new small car, said he could build a 90-degree V-6 quickly by simply eliminating two cylinders from Buick's aluminum V-8.
		But in the fuel crisis of 1974, Buick re-purchased the tooling, re-introduced the V-6 and began a series of improvements and design changes which led to the powerful, smooth, responsive and fuel-efficient powerplants of today.
		Buick's first front-wheel drive car, the 1979 Riviera, was offered in two models -- a standard version with a V-8 and an S Type, with a turbocharged Buick V-6.
