1993 Buick Century Special

With Chevy's Celebrity and the Pontiac 6000 dropped from GM's FWD midsize A-Body platform, a low priced Special package (sedan and wagon) was added to the Century starting in the 1992 model year. A driver air bag was optional on the 1993 Special series and standard on the Custom and Limited. A Custom coupe was also available (in its final year), with the Limited available as sedan only.

A-Body production was based in Oklahoma City starting in 1982 through the end in 1996, with wagons following in 1984 (assembly plant closed in 2005 and now an aerospace production facility).
