The '''[[Buick]] Centurion''' was made from [[1971]] through [[1973]], replacing the [[Buick Wildcat]] as the sporty rendition of Buick's full-size car. Visually the Centurion was nearly identical to the [[Buick LeSabre]], but used the 455 in³ big-block V-8 and five-spoke "mag" wheels from the [[Buick Riviera]] GS. Body styles included two-door and four-door [[hardtop]]s, and a very rare [[convertible]]. The convertible will be of particular interest to collectors with a total production of just 10,000 units over three model years. Total Centurion production was around 110,000 units.
