    I like 'em because I thing the stacked square headlights look better than the single round ones on the older models.

    Welcome Aboard!!!! I have a 73 Lemans wagon, and used to own a 77 Buick Century Wagon. So there are a few out there. I like them, but they haven't caught on with most mainstream car people. That and the fact that they rusted very badly, and they make almost Zero repo parts for the 73-77 A-body's. But if you are going to customize it, that shouldn't be an issue.

    Lets see some pic's!!!

    Welcome Greg. Looks a project needing new updates. Look forward to your mods. That furry dash has to go though. I'll bet your SWMBO said that too! :rofl2::rofl2: :D :Welcome:

    Look at this for a parts car! I just spotted it at the top of the forum's main page! A 1976 Buick Century wagon. Never saw one until now. hmmm...

    Norman is right, the dash has the go! I don't know if you are into this look at all, but I have to say that I really like the clean looks because of the shaved handles!

    I like the non shiny paint. I hadn't noticed the shaved handles. The dash definately clashes a bit. But the car looks nice and straight. It's a great starting point.

    I like it.

    My wife's Mexican and she roared when she saw that dash! She said that no self-respecting North Eastern Mexican would do that, but maybe one from Tijuana or Mexico City. :evilsmile: :biglaugh: Of course, North Eastern Mexicans have a certain 'self-image' issue (she's not here right now :whew:). :biglaugh::biglaugh::D
