Addendum
Please note title in transit for this car.
With a six-inch shorter wheelbase, the Century was a sportier and faster version of Buick's Roadmaster. For 1957, the Century was equipped with Buick's most powerful engine, a 300-hp 364-cid V-8 engine.
Buick described the Century in its 1957 Facts Book as follows: "The Century - true to its tradition - is the most competitive car of the year. Century power is now 50% higher than the 1954 model that brought this great Buick model back into the market with such spectacular performance that the trade promptly began referring to it as the Banker's Hot Rod."
This Century Convertible is a fully restored example that is in fabulous condition . The two-tone Garnet Red and Shell paint is extremely attractive and the interior was done to match. The chrome trim dazzles and is complemented by the whitewall tires & sparkling chrome wheels. The seats, convertible top, windows, steering, and brakes are all power operated, making this one of the easiest classic cars to drive and enjoy. The Turbine Dynaflow transmission shifts smoothly and the powerful 364-cid V-8 performs exactly as it should. One update to this car is the addition of a modern, but still classically designed, radio with a CD changer discretely hidden in the glove box.
This Century is ready for its next owner to thoroughly use and enjoy.
