Buick Century Engines and Transmissions

Each Buick Century engine here is a gasoline unit driving the rear wheels through an automatic transmission, so the car pulls away gently and rides quietly at speed. The 3.8 AT suits relaxed everyday use, while the larger 5.7 AT trades economy for easier effort when loaded or overtaking.
