Anthony C USIn 1954 The Buick Century was re-introduced! The last Century before that was in 1942. The Century consisted of a Buick Special body, with the Buick Roadmaster engine/transmission. In 1953 the Buick Skylark sat on a Roadmaster chassis. In 1954 the Buick Skylark model was really a Buick Special chassis. 2012-06-06 17:04

mrcadillac SXI saw the movie again, last night (first time in more than 50 years). IMHO, the film-noir genre will never go out of style. I loved it then, I love it now.
Hard to tell the precise year of that Cadillac Fleetwood "75", even with the pause-on-image feature and a wide screen. However, I believe we can eliminate 1946 on account of the apparent smaller number of horizontal bars on the front grille.

bref FRYou're right! Lights on both side appeared very lately, for the 1955 model! and the plate light of the 1949-1951 came from the 402... a pre-WW2 car!!!
2007-10-13 13:38
chris40 UKWhat did early 203s do for tail-lights? Did they just have a single one incorporated in the number-plate light as was often the practice in British cars pre-WW2?
I ask because on Malta, in the late '60s, I almost rear-ended an old dark-coloured 203 in the dark because it showed no tail-light at all, and I was surprised to see no provision for tail-lights in the rear wings. At the time I put it down to the Maltese approach to accident repairs, but years later I noticed in a photo I'd taken in Valetta another ... this is an enlargement of part of the slide:

All automatic buick's of the early 50's had dynaflow transmissions. I don't know if all were marked as such. I had a 1954 Century with that transmission and I don't believe it had dynaflow written anywhere on it. FYI the dynaflow was a terrible transmission - two speed and reverse. It was OK with the older straight 8 engines but when they used it with the new high power V8's it just wouldn't last. Mine burned up 3 times within 40,000 miles. I seem to recall that they discontinued the dynaflow but don't recall when.

Chevrolet had a very similar 2 speed transmission called Power Glide and some cars may have had that script on them.

They put the words on the cars because at that time an automatic transmission was a high cost luxury option. Standard equipment was a three speed manual with the shifter on the steering column. - how times have changed. Now a manual is the special order option if it is even available.



The Dynaflow transmission was still used in Buicks in 1963 but Buick later called it Turbine Drive. The last ones were supposed to be much better but still far from the durability of the more simple Super Turbine 400 transmission that replaced it.

You are correct. but it should say the Century was introduced in 1954.


The Century was introduced in 1936 and produced until 1942 and it was reintroduced in 1954.
