Detailed Description
Best of the Buicks
1938 Buick™ Century Convertible Coupe

The G.M. Car Built for Speed
By the late 1930s, General Motors was in much the same position they held for the next 50 years-dominant in almost every price category. Most of their reputation was based on price, quality and appearance. The Buick Century was the exception-it was built for speed. In fact, the Century Coupe was the dominant car in its class in the National Hot Rod Association for 25 years from 1937 to 1962. The secret to its speed was the light body (under 4000 pounds) and the powerful 320.2 cubic inch 141 hp. Inline 8 Dynaflash engine.

The auto industry had one of its worst years ever in 1938 as the fragile US economy hit a sharp recession. Sales were down 40%. Nevertheless, Buick had its highest ranking since 1931, coming in 4th place, even beating GM affiliate Pontiac.

The Century Convertible Coupe cost $1359 with only 642 produced as soft-tops were losing their appeal. Our 1:18 scale precision die-cast replica comes with the optional side mounts and a rumble seat rather than a full trunk. From the front-fender mounted bullet parking lights to the elaborate rear grille, it truly lived up to its reputation as the “Best of the Buicks”.
