Roadmaster and Century rode on the bigger 127 inch wheelbase while the Century and Special had the smaller 122 inch wheelbase. Easiest way to see which body this is from this view is the little ridge or stamping in the door that were on the smaller bodies. The conclusion is therefore a Century since this is a smaller 122 inch wheelbase car with four portholes. The four door hardtop was called '6-Passenger 4-Door Riviera' in Buick language.
