The Buick Centurion was first offered in 1971 and replaced the Wildcat series. Options and trim where kept to a minimum with only rocker panel and wheelhouse molding. Centurion letters where located on the front fenders and the round Centurion Medallion was placed on closed model roof sail panels, and the deck and hood. The Formal 2-door hardtop sported a vinyl roof. Standard options were the same as the Buick LeSabre plus a Deluxe steering wheel. The interiors were a vinyl and fabric combination with bench or notchback front seats.
