It depends on the year and condition. Newer Buick Century examples from later production years are more practical for daily use, while pre-1973 models suit weekend driving better. Modern conveniences (A/C, power steering) are more common in later years.

What's the difference between a show-quality and driver-quality Buick Century?

Show-quality (concours-grade) examples have flawless paint, NOS parts, original components, and detailed engine bays — typically priced 50–150% above driver-quality. Driver-quality cars are mechanically sound and presentable but show honest patina or previous repairs.

Where can I find parts for a Buick Century?

Marque-specific suppliers (Eckler's, NPD, Year One, Summit Racing, JEGS) stock reproduction and NOS parts for popular classic American models. For rare items, swap meets, online forums, and auction houses are best. Mechanical parts (engine, brakes) are widely available; trim and badging can be harder to source.
