Ok. This has to be one of the easiest questions, but it might need a bit of research first.

Here it is:

knew the answer even before i di a search on buicks website and found this:

"For us, it's been a century of building exceptionally well-appointed, affordable cars. For you, it's time to reap the benefits of our experience. Designed to give you more luxury for less expense, Century is a luxury car in the great American tradition of getting one with everything, to go. "

Nope.

The century came out in 1936. Has nothing to do with 100 anniversary. Buick started in 1903.

It was named the Century because Buick claimed the the car could hit the "century" mark on the speedometer.

Give that man a cigar!

It was the first Buick to hit 100mph.

The Century was Buick's first hotrod. They took the Buick Special chassis and added the highest output RoadMaster straight 8.

And this leads into another trivia question.
