But his heart belonged to Buick and three years after returning to GM he created the factory custom Buick Century X.

Mitchell\u2019s 225 changes were more subtle than startling, hardly the usual fare for a GM \u201cdream car\u201d of the fifties. Dual side exhausts exited through the rocker panels requiring holes cut in the frame with plates welded around the orifices for added strength. Century X also wore twin telescoping power headrests, Skylark-style wire wheels, Mitchell\u2019s signature red chassis, and a tachometer.\u00a0Chrome accelerator and brake pedal trim told anyone who knew the design section\u2019s secret internal language that this was indeed Bill Mitchell\u2019s car.<\/p>\n<p>Being a racer at heart and taking a page from his mentor\u2019s corporate playbook, Mitchell had the Century X driven to Elkhart Lake, WI for the Road America races in 1956. His timing was good. A new V-8 Corvette &#8212; another Mitchell favorite &#8212; defeated a throng of Jaguars to notch the mighty V-8 Corvette\u2019s first victory at Road America.\u00a0Mitchell spent race weekend cruising around the resort village much as Harley Earl had done at Watkins Glen during 1951 Grand Prix week with the Le Sabre dream car.<\/p>\n<figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\r\n            <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\r\n                <a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2.jpg' class='tipi-lightbox'>\r\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2.jpg'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2-770x578.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/2-293x220.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n            <\/div><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cHaving the Century X on the field in the Cars of Harley Earl Class is the sort of thing we love to do,\u201d said Bill Warner, founder and Chairman of the Amelia island Concours d\u2019Elegance. \u201cFinding a rare and often obscure car that\u2019s a solid part of automotive history entertains and educates.
