T HERE’S a change of the year for your Buick,too,
stalwart as it is! Hot summer driving has taken
its toll—in played-out lubricants, spark timing that
may have slipped off a notch or two over the many
miles, a carburetor that would probably give you
better mileage and snap if it were prop^Hy adjusted
now for fall driving.
Point is—your Buick will feel a lot friskiel* in the
trying days to come if you let your Buick dealer get
those summer kinks out of its system now! Just
drive in—say you want (1) a fall tune-up and (2) a
regular Lubricare—and see how much rewarded* you
are, for a small fee!
Do it this week, will you? Before the rush, you can
be served more promptly.
