They size up the broad windshield and narrow corner posts—and don’t have to be told how these things step up “see-power.’* They appraise the smart styling, the •roomy interiors, the usability of luggage space—and agree you’ve made a buy. But don’t stop, please, with letting them look. Invite them in and introduce them to some of the special pleasures you’ll know as a Buick owner. Show them, for instance, how completely different Dynaflow Drive! is, with every mile cushioned by flowing oil and none of the rigid harshness of direct-drive cars. Let them sample the matchless Buick ride, with all four wheels cradled on soft, coil springs and low-pressure tires made still easier-riding by extra-wide rims. \StanJurJ on Rqadmaitu, optional at txtra cost on Suren moJtls. Point out how solid this Buick feels. That’s what you get from husky frames, low-sw ung weight, and power delivered through a torque-tube instead of the rear springs. For the truth is, this Buick s a bargain on much, much more than you can see. It’s a big buy on .the s*;Iid goodness a demonstration quickly makes plain. On increasingly favorable delivery dates. On attractive price. On the kind of “deal” your Buick dealer makes.
