Guest radionix Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hi everybody, I really need help in identifying this car. I want to make a 3d model of it and gift it as a poster to my uncle. He used to drive it in 70s-80s. But I can't remember the model. This is the only photo I currently have, will post more later in the week. Anyone?

Pomeroy41144 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 That is a 1975 or 1976 Buick Century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 That GM body came out in '73 and was used on GM intermediates, every make used it except Cadillac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest radionix Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Modelling this without blueprints is hard. Not impossible but hard. Does anyone know where can I possibly find them? I googled them extensively but I found only sideviews and I need top, front and backviews too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pomeroy41144 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Radionix:Lindbergh came out with a model of this car in 1/32 scale. Do an extensive internet search and I am sure you could find one somewhere. Here is a photo of the box art. Pomeroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Open your Google search engine. Type in 1975 Buick Century (or Century Custom if that's what you have) then click on the images link. Tons of pictures. You can narrow your search by typing in additional things like grill, tail light, etc.https://www.google.com/search?q=1975+buick+century&espv=2&biw=1280&bih=667&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=eV08VNidHMqpyASL4ICQAg&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#tbm=isch&q=1975+buick+centuryYou'll want to click on each picture and open the link from which it came. Lots of times, the pictures might be of a '73, a '74, a 75, or a '76 so you'll want to make sure that the picture you're looking at is of the year you want.

Guest radionix Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 thanks everybody! I have already googled it and found a lot of photos but I need orthographic views for easier 3d modelling. I think it's impossible to find them on the internet so the only option I have is this Lindbergh model or model the car based on photos and that's what I'm doing.
