Scott, I would love to see how your models would look if photographed outside in natural light.

For those who are interested, my 1973 Buick Century was painted 1973 GM code 42. Buick called it Jade Green. My camera didn't pick up the true color very well. Here is a pic that shows the true, actual color. .......... *PIC* .....

BTW, where did you find the file for the Century? I haven’t seen any online yet.

Such an overlooked classic. If the bumpers were tucked and a bit more streamlined this would be a killer bodystyle. Those wheelwells could swallow 12' wide wheels. Sleek as could be and lots of engine space. Mmmmm..... *NM*
Ooops. 12" wide wheels. Not 12'. LOL *NM*
Definitely would be a prime example of steamroller tires! :D *NM*
Agreed. The Century and Cutlass wore that body style particularly well. Imagine if they had come out in 72, before the bumper mandates. *NM*
I believe they were supposed to have debuted in '72, but were delayed in part by a strike. What became the '73 Grand Am was supposedly going to be the '72 GTO *NM*
I suspect the 5mph bumpers were part of the design regardless. But you’re right, the body lines on the ‘73 A-bodies were dramatic and tighter-fitting, sculpted bumpers would have improved the look immensely. *NM*
