Minneapolis Street Sighting: Buick Centurion convertible












Here we go; another summer, another classic Buick. Seems almost daily doesn't it? Like I've said before, the most common make as far as classics go up here is probably Buick; it doesn't matter if it's a G Body Regal or a 1955 Roadmaster, they seem to be everywhere. Not that I'm complaining however. Like most of the "classic whipz" I see, this Centurion looked as if it was heading to the the rim shop to get dubbed and candied. Lacking doorhandles, and most of the side trim, the body was already slathered in a generic shade of dark red, which I assume will be candied pretty soon. At least the factory Rallyes were still on it...so far. Ditto the interior. The white leather was cut with "X"s in it indicating da homie aint like no stock interiurr. I'm guessing it will have the seats redone in some garish ass color with a few TVs poking out of random places inside as well. Shame, really, because clean classics like this one are getting harder to find thanks to "ballers" who likely don't know anythang bout da whip. I can't wait to see this thing come July. Can't you go wreck a rustbucket, dogg? It just makes me sick knowing that our supply of clean classics is likely going to end soon, and that the average car enthusiast won't find anything in his price range? Why? Because the donkryders/homies/playaz/whatever like to find the rustfree cars and make them "pimpin'. What's more annoying than that, is they don't know anything about the car they're ruining either. I've asked simple "what year is that?" and "is that a 350?" questions and got typical "i aint know but it pimpin'" answers. Seriously guys? And you say you're car enthusiasts? Gimme a break.
