My 1972 Centurion

[Redrob]

I've wanted a car for so long, and I've finally picked one up. I'm just thrilled about it!

I've enjoyed BCA membership and BCA events for years while borrowing my brother's cars, but this is better, much better!

Congratulations. Beautiful car.

And what a gem to have too. Is that an autotronic eye on the drivers side of the hood? Also, were the outside mirros an option? That car is absolutely GREAT!

Looks good. Congrats on getting your own Buick. Do I smell a Porthole article?

For some reason, the quarter window / roof line shape on these cars catches my eye.

Glad I got to see it last night Dave. Your car is way cool.

Many are happy for you!!!

Thanks, one and all. Here are a few more pictures.

John-The car does have Autotronic Eye. I've never seen any car with this option before. It works, too-it has a hard time making up it's mind about it, though.

Derek-Thanks very much, In fact, Marge sent me a request for a Porthole article the very night she saw it for the first time. How can I say no?

I showed it to my son for the first time yesterday. I love this car!

The mirrors were added by the previous owner. No, I don't think those mirrors were available on Centurions in 1972. The car is also painted in Vintage Red, a Riviera-only color available that year, and he also installed the Riviera dash pieces and a sport steering wheel. It's part of what makes this car so interesting.

Indeed - denying Marge could be dangerous
