    I remember making those headlights, coming out of the press hot you would have to knock off the excess flash then file all the edges on the brackets. The dust from filing those brackets ( fiberglass based thermoset material) would get into your pores and every break I would soak my wrists under the hottest water I could stand to open the pores and get the fiberglass dust out. If I remember correctly we used glass lenses from Magnetti Marinelli for both the Century and stable mate Regal.

    Reasonable price for what appears to be a well cared for A body wagon. Had forgotten Buick made these A wagons so far into the 90s. Had a W body 90 Regal for a while as a commuter car and did not find it much of an improvement over my A body 86 Pontiac 6000. The Regals 3.1 V6 was nice but the 4 wheel disk brake system on the Regal was a pain.

    I agree considering it is supposed to be a 1 owner car.
