The Buick Century was a series of passenger cars manufactured by the American car brand Buick from 1930 to 1942 and then between 1954 and 1958 as the successor to the 121 series in the USA. Buick is a car brand founded in 1903 and has been part of the US automobile company General Motors since it was founded. The beginnings of the company, however, can be traced back to a company for the production of hardware and engines, which belonged to the British-born David Dunbar Buick. The most famous Buick is a Buick Century 455.
