Hi Rich,
Been a TB member since the beginning, but I just noticed your Before Black page. I found it interesting because before my TR's, I had a 1981 3.8L Century. My family also had an '83 4.1L LeSabre. Both were sold in the eraly 90s.
I happened across some stuff in my files which may be of interest. I have a 1981 Buick chassis manual which covers all the models, 1981 maintenance schedule, consumer info guide (stopping distances, tire sizes..), Century options lists, build sheet & original sticker for my car. I'd be happy to scan stuff for your site.
Looking at the sticker makes me wonder where the car is today. It couldn't have gotten too far- it was a pretty slow car!
Anybody got Car Fax?
One other thing I remember- I've heard that Buick pulled random engines off the line to test for quality control and these engines were painted blue.... No idea if this is true, but my Century had a blue engine in it, while the LeSabre's was black.
