It's a Century, but since this is Mexico, I believe it's a Chevrolet instead of a Buick. |

There's another one listed as a Buick. /vehicle_218135-Buick-Century-1992.html The only info I can find is from Wikipedia: "Mexico Buicks were sold in Mexico from 1921 to 1962 when a protectionist policy on behalf of the government restricted the percentage of imported parts that could be used in the manufacture of vehicles and the sale of imported cars. From then onwards, all GM products were sold by Chevrolet dealerships. In 1990, after a heavy modification to the protectionist policy of the sixties, GM started assembling the Buick Century in Mexico, at the plant in Ramos Arizpe, in the state of Coahuila, just south of Texas, and selling it through Mexican Chevrolet dealerships, so it was not uncommon for many people to call it "Chevrolet Century". In 1997, GM stopped production of Buicks in Mexico and the brand was not sold there until 2009." This one is a pre-1990 model, but I think Mexican laws restricted imported cars in the 1980s. That comercial is very interesting. I noticed it also has the covered c-pillar windows. -- Last edit: 2013-02-02 17:43:24 |

also: /vehicle_316597-Buick-Century-1991.html It seems to retain all the Buick badging but it's only called "Century" in the commercial. I'm not sure the best way to list it. |

How strange! The ad focuses on the Buick emblems on the car and it even shows the Buick "Free Spirit" eagle! Some "Chevrolet Centurys" (the 1986-88 models with the slanted grille like this one) even kept their Buick badge in the grille! Older models featured Chevrolet badges and there was even a Century SS model... Earlier models (before 1986 it seems) with Chevrolet badges. http://bimg1.mlstatic.com/chevrolet-century-1985_MLV-F-TUC_42160873_2.jpg Link to "images01.olx.com.ve" 1985 Century SS! http://www.flickr.com/photos/hugo90/2500529122/in/faves-33723086@N02/ On newer models, they didn't seem to care about changing badges, some had their Buick badges removed and others seem to have kept them! http://articulo.tucarro.com.ve/MLV-406241742-chevrolet-century-_JM Link to "img2.mlstatic.com" -- Last edit: 2013-02-11 07:45:28 |
