Whenever the ^Government enters in, you make some sacrifice. You pay for your • cake when the Government^ feeds you. You pay by losing your f?eedom of choice and action. Well, what do we favor? We must keep the road of opportunity open so that a man may rise to the top lev el of his ability. If you are a man on wages, have you ever dreamed of big things for your boy or your ing up with car performance beyond compare. But, sir, when you step into the sleek- lined traveler pictured here —Jiang on to your hat. * For you’ll be riding behind a power plant that is not only new but a major sensation of the 1950 season. You’ll be commanding the very latest word in valve-in-head power —the newest accomplishment of the organi zation with the country’s longest stretch of experience in this engine design. i ^ Here every fist-size juel charge now delivers a huskier wallop. Shorter, lighter connecting rods meaiy HkH pistons flash with faster and livelier action. Heavier Crankshafts, floated on bigger, more rugged bearings, take this greater load and transmit its stepped-up surge to the drive shaft and rear wheels. And you, behind the wheel, wreathe your face in smiles at the lift you find! At the trigger-quick take-off—the mile-eating cruising stride — your easy disdain for the passing gas pumps. You and ypur SUPER are really stepping out—aad Buick’s good riame as “a sweetheart on the road” gains still more lustre. Nor is road-thrill the only blessing this new power plant brings. Simpler design makes service easier, so upkeep ’diminishes as a problem. Hydraulic valve-lifters keep valves properly seated for efficient operation—and for HWAWe# YOU* PR/6£ KAMS quiet unbroken by tappet noise. And you can have this power either with Buick’s easy-shifting Synchro- Mesh transmission or the silken luxury of Dynaflow Drive.* j . ; Either way, this Super is certainly something to see. To this top-notch new power it adds style and room, comfort and a wide outlook, soft easy stride and handier new over-all length. Even the price justifies a prompt trip to your Buick dealer to learn more about Buick for 1950. You’ll soon see why so many folks are already saying, ‘‘Whatever your price range — better buy Buick!*' ^Standard on RoadmasteR. optional at extra cost on Super and Special models.
