Buick and Oldsmobile introduced the "Aeroback" fastback bodies on the mid-size G body cars in 1978 in response to the hatchback models being imported from Europe and Japan. The American buying public wasn't quite ready for this radical style. As a result, they were only available for three model years. Sales numbers for those years were very low, especially for the Buick Century, so they are a very rare sight today.
This example is a true survivor which was in the possesion of the original owner up until very recently. It was sold new in Coshocton, Ohio and lived the majority of its life in that quaint little town. All original documentation is intact as well as the original keys in the original leather key case from the selling dealer. It is equipped with the one-year only 305 cubic inch V8 which starts instantly and runs smoothe. The automatic transmission shifts crisply and the brakes are great. Routine service has just been done and its performance instills confidence. All systems work as they should, although the cold weather has prevented me from testing the air conditioning.
Considering that the car is 35 years old, it is a remarkable survivor. The paint is over 90% original and still shows well. There are no rips or tears in the original upholstery or carpet and the dash has no cracks. Some of the plastic trim has gotten brittle with age and does show some cracking and some of the exterior chrome has some deterioration. Overall, it is a wonderfully original example of a rarely seen model.
This car is a great entry level collectible which is easy and reasonable to maintain. It's a true artifact of a transistional time for U.S. manufacturers. Lots of retro-cool for not a lot of money, and still a very usable car. This would get you instant celebrity status with members of the Brown Car Appreciation Society. Personal inspections are welcome. Feel free to ask any questions through the ebay system. The lucky winning bidder must make payment in full within six days of auctions' end. As with any car of this age, it is sold as-is. Have fun and good luck!

Is Buick's surprise Detroit concept a Camaro-sized coupe?
Sun, Jan 10 2016Tomorrow night marks the unofficial start of the 2016 Detroit Auto Show. Keep your eyes peeled for a number of reveals, including a surprise debut from Buick. Yes, Buick. And we think it's going to be something really hot. According to a report from Bloomberg, the Tri-Shield's secret car could be a Camaro-sized sport coupe concept. As Bloomberg explains, it'd certainly gel with the impression the company is trying to put out – that it's no longer a brand for those with one foot in the grave. Introducing a sports coupe, even as a concept, could certainly reinforce that message. And if it happens to make production – which is not a certainty, Bloomberg's secret source says – it could certainly help Buick drive its average buyer age down from 59. Bloomberg doesn't offer any speculation on Buick's new coupe, but we have no problem making educated guesses. Our most reliable conjecture is this: it will ride on General Motors' Alpha platform, which underpins both the Camaro and the Cadillac ATS. And with a certain twin-turbocharged V6 in the GM stable, we've got an idea of what kind of engine could be shown. That speculation will have to suffice for now. But don't worry, we'll have official details, live images, and video tomorrow when Buick unveils its new concept in Detroit's Eastern Market.
Buick Riviera Concept debuts in China
Fri, 19 Apr 2013It's nighttime in China, and Buick has just concluded an evening event the day before the first - and only - press day of the Shanghai Motor Show. The star of this evening's party was the Buick Riviera concept vehicle, a plug-in electric hybrid coupe that the automaker says gives a glimpse at its future design direction, not to mention resurrecting some nomenclature from the brand's history that includes a similarly named concept from 2007.
The shape of the Riviera is said to be inspired by water. While the traditional Buick "waterfall" grille is present, the front end gains a more aggressive note thanks to what appear to be vertical air inlets below each headlight.
As for the concept's drivetrain, Buick says it uses General Motors' new dual-mode wireless plug-in hybrid electric vehicle propulsion system, or W-PHEV for short. The keyword there is 'wireless,' as the Riviera can charge its onboard battery packs with a traditional cable or wirelessly via a "sensory recharge panel" underneath the car.
Buick: Odell Beckham Jr.
Mon, Feb 8 2016An Opel droptop in Buick drag crashes a wedding. No one's quite sure who made the Cascada, but Emily Ratajkowski definitely got the bouquet. She channels Odell Beckham Jr., laying out to make the catch – and conveniently Beckham is actually there to jokingly shoot her down. Did Buick nail this one, or was it (as Beckham quips) "out of bounds?" Let us know.
