Buick Centurion concept car

 

Quote

   The four-seat coupe was created in 1956 by Buick designers, supervised by Chuck Jordan. In the Centurion design, in addition to the streamlined fiberglass body, a number of original solutions were realized: instead of rear-view mirrors, a camera was installed, the image of which was displayed on a black and white screen mounted on the front panel, and the front seats were automatically moved when the doors were opened, what would to facilitate access to the rear seats. The Centurion presentation was held at the motor exhibition Motorama, held by General Motors in the same year.
