When the downsized, redesigned Century appeared, it came in the form of a fastback sedan, a body style that it shared with the Olds Cutlass Salon. Stylists made no attempt to integrate the rear end of the car with the rest of it, and the overall effect is more hatchback than fastback. Although GM was still riding high in the late `70s, the fastback sedan did not sell well and it was redesigned as a conventional notchback for 1980.
