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 hardtops, 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.

The Centurion name was first used on a Buick concept car in the 1956 Motorama. It featured a red and white fiberglass body, airplane like interior design and a full clear "bubble top" roof.
