This is how the 1997 Buick Century catered to its traditional buyers 

Great vid! Senior centers back then wouldnt have been the same without dozens of beige and white ones in the parking lot.

I was a kid in Shanghai in the late 1990s, you have to understand the impact these cars had in China. Prior to that time, automakers had mainly been introducing decade-old boxy models from the 1980s for the CKD production in China. The Century was one of the first modern and aerodynamic cars, and seemed to represent everything that was wonderful about America.

The Regal episode was promoted in this video, however, it is in production. Initially, when this vid was being produced, I intended to release the Century and Regal episode on the same day. Instead of keeping everyone waiting, I just decided to release the Century episode now rather than waiting for the Regal vid to get done. The Regal vid will be out soon.

I drive an 05 century, 308k miles and going strong!

Had a 97 century. Miss that car bad.

I HAD A 1990 BUICK CENTURY LASTED 12 YEARS NO RUST STRONG CAR GENERAL MOTORS GOOD CAR

My aunt had one of these cars. I drove it several times. The steering was light, numb and zero feeling of much control. Drove like something from the 1960's.

As a kid I never appreciated these cars, now that I'm older with all the fun that goes with it, I now really understand these cars. I wish Buick would go back to making cars like this because I don't think cars focused on softer suspensions, copious use of padding, and technological simplicity or ever irrelevant. We have the same skeleton design as the generations that loved cars like this and I think our bodies will all get to the point where we will learn to love these cars even if we didn't at the time when they were made.

I absolutely loved my Grandmothers 1998 Buick Century. I ended up buying it from my mother and aunt after my Grandmother passed away. And now I have it as a weekend driver. Such a great car. It still has a great look in the modern car era.

I had a '97 Century Custom bought new. It was a nice car. With about 9,000 miles on it, it was totaled in an accident. Its replacement was a '99 Century Limited with every, and I mean every option available. Sunroof, dual power leather seats, automatic climate control, cassette/cd player, aluminum wheels, it had it all. It also had that head gasket issue and I traded it for a Park Avenue Ultra...

My grand mother' had one

Cool.

Very good. I was hoping you would mention the Chinese Century. You did. You told the story well. I was hoping to hear about the 3300 V6 that was based off the 3800 V6. It was used in the Century and was quite reliable and durable. You should see how loaded the Mexican versions were. They were sold as Chevrolets there. They had different seats and more luxurious interiors. There are videos of them on You Tube. As you talked about with Lumina there was that version sold as a Chevrolet in The Philippines. Great video and I look forward to your Buick Regal video.

In my auto tech school, one of our learning cars is a 2002 Buick Century Custom, believe it or not with only 65k original miles. You would think it would be in good shape, and other than missing the wheel covers (they all broke) it is. The problem is, I live in Michigan, so the underside of the car is GONE. It's barely even safe to put on the lift anymore. Supposedly it came from an old lady who died. I like it, I drive a 1995 Monte Carlo which is similar, but the Century seems like a good all around car. Plus, the cloth seats are WICKED soft. The weirdest thing is that it still uses a separate door and ignition key in 2002. It had to be the last GM car to do that.

Regal used to have front bench seats too.

Cool🥰

I swear, I hear this guy's voice on all types of RU-vid videos.

Design flaw of this model of Century passenger wiper end lost contact with the windshield curve.

I drove a 1997 Buick Century around my yard before I had a license. It was very nice driving car, but unfortunately it had rusted out and became a Demolition derby car. You don't really see many century's or Regal's in upstate NY anymore since they have rusted away. The only ones around are rusted out or are fresh from non-salt states.

Decent cars but head gaskets were a problem

🔥🎸🔥

The decision to make Regals and Centurys all but identical was another argument that GM should have been allowed to fail.

I have 2003 century custom
