Dear collectors friends, here is the second prototype of the 1974 Buick Century.

My mom had the same year and color brown one when I was growing up, and I thought it was the ugliest car I had ever seen, until she replaced it with a Ford Maverick!
Great looking model Sergio, I'll be getting one of these.

Ben, my mom didn't have one of these and I agree it is one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen and I think I'll pass.

I somewhat agree with Curtis, plus I'm getting a little bored with 4-doors.
Now if you do a Kojak version, that may change. NY plates, little red light on the roof - there you go!

Kojak! Bang Bang
Wonderful, I like a lot. Reference is to a 1970s movie called Foul Play. Streets of San Francisco also comes to mind.

Sergio, I hope you plan on full wheel covers for these. But I do like the color choices. Make sure you put a tan interior in the brown ones.

(PIC) That second one is like the one seen on Kojak....

PICS--Agree the '73-77 Century 4dr is ugly. 2dr Regal & Cutlass coupes were great lookers & sellers.
We had a '73 Cutlass S like the 442 pictured below but with ww's and full wheel covers. My wife and I loved that car.

How about it Sergio - change the plates?

Nicely done but nothing after 1972 holds collector interest for me.

Frank we had a 73 Cutlass Supreme fully loaded with a big block 455 engine.It was a fabulous car with great build quality which was rare in those days.

Yikes. That is frightfully boring. Without the Kojak tie in, no thanks.
A better equipped Century or Regal might have more appeal.

I wonder if Kojak opted for the 455 big-block in his Buick?
10/07/2020 6:21 am
Yes, boring and even with a Kojack tie in, I'll still pass. The seventies don't do it for me at all.

Yes, full wheel covers unless in police-package 'stripper' trim w/o white walls.
And yes the 2 dr versions of these 70s mid sizers [Buick Regal, Olds Cutlass Supreme] are better looking and never modelled before.
But otherwise keep the real-world 4-door subjects coming
