(first posted 1/12/2016) With Toyota Week firing on all four cylinders, now is probably the right time for some respite in the form of a gargantuan US ragtop. To my memory, this is the first 1971-76 B- or C-bodied Buick I have ever encountered in the metal, and it wasn’t until I sat down to do a capsule that I realised how relatively rare the Centurion was.
1971 saw an overhaul of the fullsize GM cars across the board. Buick had been lagging in the B- and C-body looks department for the last few years but jumped to first place with this new platform.
As Jerry Hirshberg, who was involved with the styling of this range, told Collectible Automobile; “In an era of edge and boxiness, I think what we introduced with this car was the beginning of three-dimensionality, and that was unique for a big car. For example, the line that crossed over from the hood, which usually would have intersected the base of the windshield, swept over at the bottom of the A-pillar and became a side line.”
However the cars were longer, wider and heavier; which did not augur well for the future.
The Centurion replaced the Wildcat as the top trim level B-body Buick, taking its name from a 1956 plexi-cabined show car. It featured the 455 as standard, with the high performance version also available. The Wildcat’s sporting pretensions were downplayed in favour of a more distinguished look featuring less chrome trim, a unique and discrete grille, deluxe steering wheel, but still no ventiports.
In 1972 not much changed, although the quoted output for the 455 was reduced from 315 hp to 225 hp, and from 360 hp to 270 hp for the high performance variant – a change from gross to net figures (if I have absorbed correctly from my CC readings). Visually, the grille was ‘dropped’ in a similar fashion to the Chevrolets of the same year. As per 1971, the Centurion was available in four-door hardtop, two-door coupe and two-door convertible bodies – all sitting on the 124″ wheelbase.
1973 would be the Centurion’s most successful year, selling nearly 45,000 examples across the three body styles. The quasi Electra-like prestige over the shorter wheelbase seemed to make more sense as the full size ranges gave up any lingering pretensions towards sportiness, but with thrift increasingly part of the purchaser’s intent, the 350 cu in engine became standard for the Centurion.
The Centurion range provided the only Buick droptop for 1973. The new A-bodies didn’t feature an open air version, the LeSabre convertible was a one-year omission and there had not been an Electra convertible since 1970. Only 5,739 of these were produced, apparently about half with the 455.
1973 marked a precipitous decline in styling for these cars. With tougher impact laws affecting bumpers, a lot of the beauty was lost in the process. The turnunder that was such a compelling aspect of this shape was not served well by the new front-end termination.
Hirshberg continues; “The most difficult areas were the corners of the car. Suddenly, the profile could not be clean and simple. There was this big step that was three-dimensional because everything had to be protected from an angle hit, and there was so much expensive real estate that had to be protected. That was tough. The cars got long at the bottom, front, and rear, and the early ones were pretty crude. We called them ‘cowcatchers’, like on trains.”
I have to agree, but I also find the revised sculpture around the headlights and grille to be really disappointing; longer yet more snub and not anywhere near as attractive as the 1971 and 1972 frontal treatments.
The rear bumpers on the 73 were more in keeping with the earlier years, but by 1974 these were remodelled as well. And the front bumpers became even larger.
Although this Harvest Gold example sports twin exhausts, I’m assuming it carries the 225 hp version of the 455. The 1973 brochure shows both 455s available, but my Standard Catalogue of American Cars doesn’t list the high output version for this model year. Hopefully the CCognoscenti might know.
In truth, the success story for the 71-73 Buick B-body was the LeSabre Custom, outselling both the Centurion above it and the LeSabre below. Comparing prices across the three levels for the hardtop sedan see the 2bbl 350 LeSabre at $4,125 and LeSabre Custom at $4,217 and the 4bbl 350 Centurion at $4,390. Splitting hairs really.
This convertible started at $4,534 – however that was without the 455.
The 1973 models were the last of the short lived Centurions, which were replaced atop the B-body lineup with the LeSabre Luxus in 1974. The LeSabre Custom disappeared for 1974 and then reappeared in 1975, when the Luxus disappeared. Buick in branding fluxus.
This Centurion is an even more uncommon sight in Australia given that Buicks were not a part of GM’s import program in 1973. These days you can fully register LHD vehicles here in Victoria, so I’d guess this is not a recent RHD conversion either.
I saw it more recently bearing registration plates. Just in time for a pleasant summer cruise.

I’m a big fan of these Buicks, especially the ’71 hardtop coup. Loved the formal roof/sporty wheel combination, 455 and no vent ports. I would gladly have one in my garage. Hard to find a mint Centurion these days, people loved them into the ground.
Some one at some stage loved this one so much they had it imported to Australia were they had to have it expensively converted to RHD. Did any one else not that?.
Most states now allow LHD collector cars with restrictions to use like meets and rallies only. Thought some one would like to know that. Helps if you export cars over there.
Depends on when it turned up it could have a near new car on arrival and needed conversion, theres a very happy Maori chap cruising a green example locally he always has a big smile every time Ive seen him. LHD too its allowed here even late model Mustangs of which thousands are here are all LHD.
These were good looking cars- always loved the curves and large glass area of this era GM, combined with Buick’s trademark sweep spear along the side. There is a nice example of a ’73 4-dr hardtop Centurion for sale in Seattle: https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/5382120570.html
I was so tempted, but then responsibility got the best of me, and I realized there would be no room for it, let alone funds to adopt yet another old classic in need of daily upkeep. At the risk of offending the low rider crowd, hopefully someone saves it from becoming yet another big wheeled, bouncing barrio brougham 🙁
I join you in that prayer…..
I can assume they didn’t do it because the Electra was a “C” body, But I think the “C” roof on the “B” Centurion (ala GrandVille) would have been neat. Having had 2 ’71 Electras, I have an obvious affinity for this generation “B/C”s.
I am pretty sure God drives a sky blue 71 Centurion convertible, at least when his 67 Eldorado Coupe is in the shop!
Great find and nice writeup. I had forgotten that Buick had 3 levels below the Electra. Every mid priced brand had proved many times that the “middle of the middle” was a weak seller. Newport Customs and Monterey Customs come to mind. Here, that weak middle ground was shared with LeSabre Custom and Centurion. I wonder what was the reason – seems like one too many models to me.
This is the first time I have really examined the dropping grille on these cars. I wonder why they didn’t keep the 1972 shape and just add the bumper? Might have looked better.
I always thought “Centurion” was a great model name for Buick. Too bad it never really caught on.
I’m with you, I always have had a thing for the middle models.
One issue the middle cars faced was that by the time you optioned them up a bit, you were one AC system and one stereo system away from buying an Electra 225 Custom – which came standard with power windows and a much plusher interior. 1973: LeSabre $3,998, Centurion, $4,390, Electra Custom $5,108. The standards on the Electra Custom when appearing on a Centurion window sticker likely made it easy for salesmen to guide the prospect to an Electra.
But, the Centurion really was a very nice LeSabre.
I’ve long had the hots for non letter Chrysler 300s for the same reason.
Yup, the base LeSabre was there for the guy who stretched himself financially to get into the Buick Dealer. He would not buy a Centurion. As you say, the guy who could really afford the Centurion was just a few more bucks a month away from a base Electra. That middle ground was a lonely place. The casual observer would never notice that you spent more on the middle model, but would notice if you moved up from an Olds to a Buick, or if you popped for an Electra.
It is interesting that the middle big Buicks never did that well, while at Chevy the middle child was the popular model at least with retail buyers.
I agree that the likely reason was that the entry level was an aspirational vehicle that someone would stretch to say they owned a Buick while the Electra buyer was making sure that everyone knew they had the top dog. One other thing that probably hurt the middle Buicks for much of their run was the fact that it came standard with the biggest engine that just wasn’t a big pull for a Buick buyer. Those years when the big engine was available in the LeSabre the take rate was very low.
Now for the early generation A’s the Skylark got legs shortly after intro and eventually the Special went away because it sold so poorly.
Note the Electra 225 Custom was the top dog and two steps above the Centurion.

Thanks for the compliment JPC
I don’t think the LeSabre Custom suffered from the middle of the middle syndrome as I remember seeing a lot of LeSabre Customs.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who likes the 1971-72 front end more than the 1973’s, I also hated that they’ve made the 350 standard on the 1973 Centurion’s considering the 455’s were standard on the 1971-72 Centurion’s, also is it just me or does anyone always think of the 1980 movie “Used Cars” when they see a 1973 Buick Centurion convertible?
One of my favorite car movies, ever 🙂 Just rewind the odometer and add some chewing gum to that back bumper. . .
Yup, first thing I thought of, I think that convertible is the same color as the one he tried to sell in the movie, which I quoted in the post below.
With the rear bumper held on with chewing gum and the odometer turned back.
Thanks for the relief from Toyomania!
The new B/C bodies at GM for 1971 were the big but some of them…Buick and Oldsmobile, I remember…managed some grace and poise. Chevrolet, Pontiac and Cadillac all went front-heavy.
And then in 1973-4, everybody seems to have given up. Stick out that big chin where we can hit it, at 5mph!
124 in wheelbase… wow.
For reference the current Suburban has a 130 in wheelbase.
IIRC, My ’70 Cadillac Sedan DeVille was 129.5″ WB and that year’s Fleetwood was 133″ WB! (the regular sedan too,not the limo!)
I dated a girl in college who owned a brown ’72 Centurion coupe. Classy car.
My youngest sister also owned a Centurion…yellow ’73 convertible identical to the example above.
Ah, memories…my family had a 1971 Electra like the one in the picture. I found its design elegant and handsome when new, and to my eyes it remains so.
+1!
Mine too. Navy blue ’71 Electra, with white vinyl top and dark blue cloth (brocade) interior. Bought new, my dad was 43 then. Times were different!
Yes indeed!
The timing of this post during Toyota week reminds of when I’d drive an economy car, and then get back into my 1976 Cutlass Supreme Brougham with all the fixins. The virtues of the economy car were a nice place to visit, but the Brougham was home!
Nice write up on an obscure car.
Appreciated Dave
I’ve heard of the Centurion tank. Dad mentions it when he retrieves old memories from his military service. Can’t be this Buick model though.
There was a Centurion Tank, but not built by Buick, although there were tanks built in Buick factories.
“Why do you want to become an American?”
“So I can drive a Buick Centurion/Wildcat/Riviera/Le Sabre/Electra and afford to fuel it”
I’d certainly try it on the form……that 72 Coupe is stunning.
Although I’m a Ford man, I’ve always liked Buicks better than other GM brands. With the exception of my 74 Impala of course. Back in October I was driving across I 20 in Dallas during rush hour when beside me a late 20’s, early 30’s lady was driving a green 4Dr Buick LeSabre apparently with pride. She had a happy look on her face. She even had kind of a 70’s look to her hairstyle and dress. Sure took me back. The car was not restored, but was very clean. Inside and out. Wish I could have gotten a photo.
I actually like the frontal styling of the ’73 Buick better than the ’71-’72 cars. The nose is not as blunt and the hoodline has the effective illusion of being lower.
Interesting observation tonyola. To me the nose looks more blunt on the 73 because of the shaping of the front edge of the hood.
I, too, actually prefer the front of the ’73 – especially the way the headlight housings look like they’re canted back slightly from the center. The loss of grace and beauty from the style of the ’73 to the ’74 is way more jarring than the change from ’72 to ’73, IMO.
I think I also prefer the ’73 headlight treatment, probably due to the effective lowering of the nose as mentioned. They took the grille an inch or two too far down, though, and those bumpers are quite clunky.
Think ,at least the 71 with a 3 speed manual transmission was standard on the Centurion. Do not know if any were built but a 71 Centurion with clutch would really be a unicorn. I think the Grandville was also standard with the manual transmission.
Agree with JPC above that the Centurion was a neat name. One of so many in Buick history. Much better than LaCrosse.
The automatic was standard on the 1971 Grand Ville but power steering was optional that year (it would be standard on the 1972-up Grand Ville’s)
The automatic may as well have been standard equipment, but a whopping two Grand Ville’s were built with a three-speed in early 1971. The three-speed option disappeared rather quickly after the model year began.

I remember in 71 when the Centurion came out I was disappointed that that the Wildcat name had been dropped. However considering how conservative the Centurion was, calling it Wildcat would have been inappropriate. My all time favorite Wildcat was the 68 2 door coupe, one of the nicest designs of all time. I never warrmed up to the 71-73 LeSabres/Centurions but from what I understand they were nice driving cars, better than the 74-76s.
Looking at the old Buick ads from a modern perspective, isn’t it odd that the driver of the 71 Centurion is wearing his shoulder belt but his lovely passenger isn’t? The fact is those shoulder belts came from the factory folded behind 2 clips on the roof and that’s where they stayed. Noone used them.
She is, but the only way to tell is her collar is black towards the door and white towards the driver. But neither one bothered to pull up the dinky little headrest. And the convertible’s still only had lap belts on American cars of this time period. Back in the day on most cars the shoulder belts were just left hanging down, especially as they turned into beaters.
A pleasure and relief to read during this Toyota Week.
Agree
I never understood the point of the Centurion. When they were newer, I actually interpreted them as base models, like Cadillac’s Calais — because they lacked ventiports, and every Centurion I have seen is upholstered in vinyl, as opposed to the interesting fabrics you could get in LeSabres, and very few of them had power windows or seats. So they looked decontented to me. While they were in fact priced at a premium versus the LeSabre, it’s hard to see what you got other than the standard 455. Suspensions were the same, and there were no interior upgrades like buckets, a console, or a sporty dash with a tach and gauges.
Actually I too thought the lack of VentiPorts indicated it was lower than LeSabre when new too! But since they came out before the Century was “revived” as an “A” body. I was confused as to name as I assumed a pre-1959ish order: LeSabre (Special), Centurion (Century) and Electra (Roadmaster). My concept of a “GrandVille” roof might have helped it be the “smaller” Electra the 455 would imply. Centurion is still a bada$$ name though!
At the time vinyl was considered an upgrade over cloth. The Wildcat carried the hot rod image better but that was the role of the middle big Buick for most of the years a car that was supposed to be the sporty big Buick a sort of anti Brougham compared to the other Buicks. So yeah one of the reasons to choose the Centurion was to not have the Ventiports.
Personally I think other than the 1970 Buicks were always the best looking versions of the B/C cars by a mile. 1971 and up and the Buicks just weren’t head and shoulders above the rest.
Didn’t the 1971 and 1972 Centurion coupe feature a standard vinyl roof covering which closed in the back windshield a bit to make it look more formal, while the 1973 edition did not have this roof treatment?
I believe this was to further distinguish it from the LeSabre coupes.
To me the Buick B’s were the best looking at the GM stable. The second place would be the Chevy Caprice and Impala Custom coupes, the last would be the Delta 88s. They were just plain ugly.
Thanks for that. I believe you are correct on the rear window treatments over the three years.
You’re welcome. I spent some time this afternoon looking at the brochures and pics on the web for these Centurions and also the Delta 88 coupes. Looks like the Olds did the same formal treatment on their top like Delta 88 coupe to mimic the Centurion.
On my newspaper route in the 70s, a subscriber owned one of these convertibles, same color. I was impressed with the car & also with their house, which won the prize within miles, probably, for the most severely dilapidated and decrepit dwelling.
Truly a remarkable catch and a terrific article! Someone loved that car to perform the steering conversion.
I agree about the ’73 not being the visual equal of the ’71 and ’72, but it hasn’t embraced the “I’m large and in charge” demeanor the ’74 and later models grandly carried.
Oddly, despite having seen many ’73 Buicks over the years, I’ve only see one other in the same color as this convertible and it was a four-door hardtop I captured a few years ago.
Cheers Jason
In 1956 there was this very cool Buick Centurion concept:
Here’s another view:
The ’71-’73 Buicks just have a certain grace about them. and the comment from the designer about the “dimensional” nature really is true. The way the raised hood center continues as the bodyside sweep is quite attractive. Plus, the rear bumper treatment is really nice the way it wraps underneath. The convertibles look great, and the hardtop coupes may look even better–the hardtop roofline is done quite well! Doesn’t work quite as nicely on the sedans, but they’re still attractive.
Then the rear bumpers were redone for ’74, along with some other refreshing, and it was a BIG negative difference.
“the line that crossed over from the hood, which usually would have intersected the base of the windshield, swept over at the bottom of the A-pillar and became a side line.”
Trouble is that all the GM cars shared this same feature, and it was a significant part of the styling. It was more obvious that the basic body was shared across the divisions than earlier cars that didn’t have such a distinctive styling feature.
Not sure I agree with you fully on that. This 71 Caprice – for example – doesn’t have the hood line continuing to the side, nor to my memory did the Pontiac and Olds.
I do agree that with the 71 onwards underlying body, individual marque differences were not so pronounced.
more obvious from this angle
Even though I want to kill it with fire, here’s a 71 Pontiac
Ugh. I wouldn’t kill it with fire though, just look away.
And Olds
On the other hand, the Cadillac did have a similar body line.
In the late 80’s; looking for a go-to-work car to drive to my job in the Oregon bay area-Coos Bay- I found a low mileage 4dr version of this car; advertised in the “shopper” (the ebay/Craiglist of the day) in Eugene by an old retired couple. Blinded by it’s very clean interior (minus the rear-view mirror screwed to the top of the dash on a board) and smooth ride; I bought it. As we were on limited funds and most had went to the car (think I paid $350) I filled the tank half full, with about 12 gals iirc; figuring that should easily make the 120 miles to home. About 25 miles from CB I looked at the gas gauge and it was on empty; figured the gauge must be faulty; because that would mean about 9 miles-on the highway- but it was right, unfortunately. On the highway it was slow, had bias-ply tires and howled at the least sign of a corner. The brakes must of been drums or bad disk as they barely slowed the barge down. The old owner must have never got it above 35-50 in town and the engine was all carboned up, it wouldn’t go over 60 mph with smoking and pinging and back and forth to work it got about 7-8mpg. Well I traded it off for a high mileage 1975 Chevy Malibu Classic with one noisy lifter; a much better car; 350; 18mpg and corned like it was on rails; compared to the Buick. But you know—that Buick suurre had a smooth ride.
“You ought to buy it right now. This Buick is you.This is your car! Stanley Dewoski…is…Buick centurion convertible.” -‘Used Cars’ (1980)
I love the ’71-’73 Buicks, the Centurion, for sure but especially the Electra 4-door hardtop. It’s those character lines the designer mentions, and the fact that the ventiports are on those lines, rather than in the fender as in later models. Plus the fins. That blue one at the top is calling my name.
I have never seen a Centurion in the metal; in fact, the only one I’ve ever seen is the one in ‘Used Cars’, which if I’m not mistaken is this same color.
Would be interested to know what was behind the semi-retro touch of bringing back the curved, 50s style windshield in the 71-76 B, C models. By the mid 60s that 50s feature was gone, but it seems like it came back in a less extreme form on these. I happen to think it looks great.
To my eyes the ’73 is the awkward child. The front bymper isn’t deep but juts out a country mile and the rear bumper’s rubber mouldings look like a cheap aftermarket add on. By ’74 Buick had it more sorted with a more integrated front bumper and a rear one with enough heft to match the front. I’m biased as I once owned a ’74 LeSabre Luxus convertible but that year seemed to have the last original styling, before Detroit gave it up in favour of pseudo-Mercedes upright grilles.
Agreed, and like almost all ’73 cars, it looks unbalanced, with a cowcatcher in front and an intermediate design in back (’73 rear standard was only 2.5 MPH which most cars met with minor changes in back).
I’d agree that the car was likely imported and converted when new, or near-new. I’ve seen a hardtop sedan in the same colour and about the same era (I think 1975-76) a few times in the outer-eastern suburbs; they are definitely a rare thing! The one I’ve seen I believe to be an original-owner car too.
in or about 1997 I took my 1983 Cougar 5.0 to Sears Point just to see—mid 16s–had never heard of Buick of this model—-guy was cranking low 13s–now I now the rest of the story
Back then a Buick was a BUICK . Not a plastic crossover.
Disagree on the attractiveness ranking of the B-body 71-72 cars…I’d put it as
(1) LeSabre (sweepspear…any questions?)
(2) Delta 88 (I like the flaring at the bottom of the wheel wells…almost a spat-type design)
(tie) Impala/Caprice and Catalina/Grand Ville (slab-sided and ugly from a quarter view)
JMHO
I’ve never seen a Buick Centurion before. I’ve seen pictures of them, but I’ve never seen one in person. I’ve seen Buick LeSabres, the Buick Electra 225, the Buick Skylark. But for some reason, I’ve never seen a Centurion.
What a useless regulation that 5 mph bumper standard became. The added cost and weight never made up for the supposed savings. It wasn’t until the “plastic” bumpers were rolled out that they could be integrated and the weight penalty removed. And then I think the cowards in the Government rolled back the standard to 2.5 mph which made even less sense.
I had a 1973 Centurion 455 convertible finished in Grecian Silver with Black interior, and absolutely loved it. I bought the car in 1977 with 20,000 miles and a fully documented history and kept it maintained to a tee. I’m sure I’d still have it, were it not for the rubbish truck that broadsided me in 1985 …
My Dad bought a ’71 Centurion 455 convertible cinnamon body color w/ white top/interior back in the mid 70s. He got it in almost pristine condition from a neighbor for $1200. We had it as a family car for years. Took it everywhere. Dad sold it to a work friend who went on to beat it into the ground. Top destroyed, back glass shattered, small dents all over it. Rust from East coast winters and engine tired and slow.
I bought it for $100 and brought it back to life. Everyone thought i was crazy. After a lot of work and about $3000 it was back on the road. It was my daily driver and was ‘the car’ me and my buddies would use to go down the shore in summers. I took it on a cross country tour as well as one up to Canada to see the Expos play and on to Quebec, Gaspe peninsula on the Eastern tip of Canada in ’85 for a sailing regatta to celebrate Canada’s anniversary.
I kept it all original, but replaced the top with a tan (buckskin) color. The white was just too difficult to keep looking nice. Plus, the buckskin top looked great with the metallic cinnamon body color. Everywhere I drove it people complimented me on it. Up close you could see it still needed work, but a casual glance it turned heads everywhere. I still remember a Montreal trip in summer when, stopped at a light, a bunch of girls came running over and jumped in! Couldn’t do that with a hard top! Great times in that car. Finally had to get rid of it after it sat all through my college years and beyond. But before that, through hard work and a little bit of cash I made working at the Foodtown, I was able to give her a second life and an exciting one at that.
My aunt bought one in Avocado Green, an Electra 225 – 1973. A floating tomb of a ride, no noise. Silent. Had a ride that was complete isolation from anything around it. An enormous dash, a padded tomb of a car. 10 miles per gallon.
As kids, we like riding in it because it was like riding in a dream. Never wanted to actually drive it. When I ended up getting behind the wheel of this barge, I didn’t feel as though I had the slightest clue where I was on the road. Absolutely no fun to drive at all.
Guys that are too young to remember these cars really don’t know what it is to drive anything this large, this isolating, and this gas-sucking. Glad most of these barges are gone.
No one spotted the replaced convertible top has a plastic rear window and not the glass rear window convertible top it was built with. Got to sit in these on the showroom floor when they were introduced and all three model years… 71-73.
I prefer the earlier ’60s Wildcats, but the black over green hardtop coupe pictured in the ad at the top of the post, is quite attractive to me. I especially like the hubcaps. It looks like they are a smooth matte finish surrounded by the bright wheel lip and with a chrome center cap. I don’t recall ever seeing those on any Buick in the wild. I love them!
Another version of the Banker’s Hot Rod, All of these big block big cars gave performance that was almost at muscle car levels, one magazine referred to them as “Powercars.” Especially since a lot of Pony cars had small block motors, and even a lot of intermediate sporty models weren’t packing the top engine options.
Yes they were big, the only things that compares Today is a long wheelbase pick up, or a Suburban or extended wheelbase Expedition. Like a semi truck combo they still manage to go everywhere.
Lovely car, beautiful colour. I miss Don’s posts.
I don’t want to say something rude, so I’ll let Billy Preston do the talking for me:
nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’.
This was a very smoooooooth, most satisfying American cruising convertible.
Just watching the top go up and down from the inside was worth the price of admission.
One of my Uncles who was always a Pontiac guy bought a Buick LeSabre in 1973; this rather surprised me for as long as I knew him he had always driven Pontiacs. He only had it for a couple of years before he sold it and bought another Pontiac. The Buick had the 350 ci engine and apparently it didn’t have enough power for him; the ’75 had the 400.
LeSabre Custom sold well, since they were nicer trimmed than base models, which could be taxi cab Chevy Biscayne looking.
Hello!!! I’m very interested in this 1973 buick centurion convertible and looking forward to buy it can you give me more details about this car and the location call or text 2512436477 or Email juskepinit100@gmail.com
This car was shot in 2016 in Australia, and it was not for sale then.
