Perfect for San Francisco Tours, Events and Production Shoots

My classic 1972 Buick Centurion convertible, affectionally known as “Big Red”, was one of the largest convertibles Buick ever produced in one of the smallest production runs of any Buick model. It has one of the largest engines they put into a production model car, the General Motor’s 455 cubic-inch V8 “Big Block” engine – a true “Land Yacht”. Only 10,296 Buick Centurion convertibles were ever made in the three years they were produced (1971-73), and only 2,396 of the 1972 model.

This fully operational well-maintained vehicle is a dream be driven in, especially with the top down. The bench seats are like living room sofas on wheels. It is undoubtedly the one of the coolest way to see San Francisco! It is also great as a prop at events and for photo and film shoots. To book “Big Red” either for a tour, event or production shoot, please email jeremy@jeremysutton.com.

A Little Aside…

In 1973 a blue version of the same model of car, Buick Centurion Convertible, was delivered new to Queen Margrethe and her late husband Prince Henrik of Denmark.




For many years Prince Henrik drove this car more or less daily in the summer months. He liked it so much that when it was so worn down that they had to either sell it or restore it, he had it totally refurbished at considerable cost.

    Jeremy, thanks so much for making our trip to San Francisco so special and memorable.
    We loved the whole tour in your car, seeing and hearing about San Francisco including the golden gate bridge from a San Francisco local, the best part is your passion and infectious personality.

    Visiting your art studio was also a wonderful experience, I wish we had more time to spend with you in your studio. It was wonderful to see your artistic skills in action as you painted a portrait of Mimika.

    Very enjoyable and highly recommended.

    Thanks,
    Michael Cooney
