The Buick Century Cruiser was a dream car, a concept vehicle that Buick created in 1969 for a future of automated highways on which steering wheels would be unnecessary. It offered swivel contour seats, a refrigerator and a television set. In the planned scheme the computerized car would follow predetermined routes entered by punch card, with information supplied by electric highway centers, and a radar like device would monitor the vehicle. A manual device for steering and controlling speed was also included, and the canopy slid open to give easy access to the cockpit. The Century Cruiser was related to the Firebird IV concept car and shares an appearance with the GM-X Stiletto.
