F riends gather, look over that long
bonnet and wish they had as much
Fireball life as you have here.
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.
A
That’ s why we keep saying “Better see
your Buick dealer—and get that order in
promptly!”
