Old Buick Century

I was there

1985 Buick Century Sedan (white) and 2006 Chevy Corsa (red)

My parents bought a '85 Buick Century in 1987, a few days before I was born (March 26). That car has been in a lot of places and if it could speak, it would tell a lot of stories. My parents bought that Century when they were living in San Diego, California. Then, in ‘91, we moved to Mexico (Guanajuato, not too far from Mexico City) and we still had that car, which means 24 years of life. We love that car because it is has been part of our lives all of these years. My mother, my brother and I learned to drive in this car. Today, my parents have a '04 Jetta, but it's not so reliable and they want to change it for a Saturn Astra. I own a '06 Chevy Corsa Saloon and it has been another great car. I would like to have both (Century and Corsa) the rest of my life.

Note: In 2006, the Corsa Saloon models that were sold in Mexico came from Brazil and were badged as Chevy Corsa.
