The Buick Century name was first used by General Motors in 1936. A new Century came into the picture in 1973, and in 1982 the Century was built on a down-sized platform. It got a facelift for 1989 and minor design changes in the following years with the last Century built in 2005. This abandoned Buick, residing next to an equally abandoned house in southeastern North Carolina, appears to be a 1991 model. (Photo by Jim Meachen)
