1954 Buick Century Convertible Equipment
The 1954 Buick Century Convertible offered the high power V8 engine with 200 horsepower in a rather small body. It was known as the bankers “hot rod”. The Convertible is now one of the rarest 1954 Buick models and very hard to find. Most models 66C were well equipped – almost any car had the Dynaflow (Automatic) Transmission.
