Trivia:- 1938 Buick Century models did feature what are commonly known today as "suicide doors," or more accurately, rear-hinged doors. They were a common design feature on many early automobiles, including those from Buick. The design was carried over from horse-drawn carriages and provided easier entry and exit, especially for ladies in longer dresses.
