SOUTHERN BEIL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH CO. for this wide -open beauty Birthdays and Annlvsrsartos Mn. Tom Burnett celebrated her birthday May 27. Happy Birthday to Mn. Matt Davis and her twin brother, Ez- /fb new kind of hardtop- The 4-, T HFRF seems to be some confusion about what a hardtop really is, and we’d like to set the matter straight. A hardtop is a car that looks like a Convert ible with the top up-but has a solid steel roof overhead —am/ no center posts in the side window areas. Up until just recently, it could be built in volume only with two doors —not more — because it would take wholly new struc tural principles to hinge another set of doors without floor-to-roof center posts. But Buick came up with those new struc tural principles and is now building—in volume —hardtops with/oar doors. You see one pictured here. It’s- the 4-Door Riviera. And it’s taking the country by storm . . . Because here, at long last, is an automobile with the sleek and sporty styling of a true hardtop —but with separate doors for rear- seat passengers, plus the added room of a full- she Buick Sedan. On top of that, this beauty is all Buick — with the buoyant ride of Buick’s all-coil springing —the walloping might of Buick’s record-high V8 power — the whip-quick getaway and sizable gas savings of Buick’i spectacular Variable Pitch Dynaflow.* And it’s available in Buick’s two lowest- priced Series — the budget-tagged I88-hp SPECIAL, and the high-performance 236-hp Centuky, illustrated here. Come visit us for a first-hand meeting with the 4-Door Riviera- and see how quickly and how easily the last word in automobiles can be yours. *DytwfL/u, Dn: * u ilanJjrJ jn K taJm^uvr, jptHtthd extra coil on other Serrei.
