With a rakish sports car styling modelled after Buick’s famed Skylark, the Riviera features a new panor amic windshield, a cut-down door belt line, full rear-wheel cut-out and a refined aweepspear mold ing. It has a completely new front end, all new styl ing, new instrument panel, new rear fender and deck lid treatment, and new interiors. It is mounted on a 127-inch wheelbase and is powered by a 182- horsepower V-8 engine when equipped with Twin- Turbine Dynaflow. Wire wheels are offered as optional equipment. How Sinclair RD-II9 Saves OIL BURNER TROUBLE Protects against Clogged Strainers PUNT, MICH. — Buick today announced a completely new line of automobiles for 1954, studded with the most revolutionary styl ing changes since the introduction of streamlining. The new Buicks come in four series with all new, roomier bodies, beautiful new exterior and interior styling, longer wheel bases, panoramic windshields, and more powerful and efficient V-8 engines. The Special Series makes its debut in the V-8 class in 1954 with a brand new 150 horsepower engine modelled after the valve in-head V-8 introduced in the Roadmaster and Super Series last year. Horsepower in the Road- master has been boosted from 188 to 200, and in the Super from 170 to 182. New also to the Buick line for 1954 is the Century Series, de signed to sell in the price, range between the Special and Super. The Century, which features a 200 horsepower Roadmaster en gine mounted on a 122-inch wheel base, has a very high power-to- weight ratio and is the outstand ing performer in the Buick line. All-steel estate wagons are available for the first time this year in the Century and Special series. Among outstanding styling fea tures in addition to the new pan oramic windshield are full rear wheel fender openings and slop ing door line on all two-door Rivieras and convertibles, built-in sun visor and rain cove on four- door sedans in the Roadmaster and Super Series, new high crown front fenders which permit the driver to see the right fender at all times, and new insUument panel. The new V-8 engine in the Special Series, new combustion chamber design which increases E ower and economy, new power rakes, new front end suspension which improves steering and pro vides better cornering ability, and cowl ventilation are among the top engineering advance ments. The sweepspear molding, so closely identified with Buick, has been restyled along the lines of last year’s Skylark sports con vertible. The grille styling also has been refined, with 49 thin bars of chrome enclosed in a chrome frame. The traditional Buick emblem on the front of the hood has been replaced with the word B-U-I-C-K in narrow, deli cate letters. Interior styling has been en hanced by a new, double roll in strument panel, similar to the one on Buick’s experimental Wildcat. A new speedometer, unique in the entire industry, is featured on the Roadmaster and Super Series. Speed is indicated by a red line that moves horizontally across a scale graduated from 0 to 120 miles per hour. New styling also is featured throughout the interior with many new combinations of colors in ny lon, broadcloth, cordaveen and leather. The new V-8 engine in the Special has the same overall di- mensions as the V-8 in the Road master and Super. The Special V-8 has a 264 cubic inch displace ment and an 8.1-to-l compression ratio in Dynaflow-equipped cars. In cars equipped with standard transmision, the compression ratio is 7.5-to-l. Both Dynaflow and safety power steering continue as stand ard equipment on the Roadmaster Series and optional on all others. Swing-out door hinges provide up to one and one-half inches more entrance room to the front com partment of all 1954 Buicks. The new line comes in 15 models with six horsepower rat ings and two wheelbases. All Roadmaster and Super models are mounted on a 127-inch wheelbase. Special and Century models are mounted on a 122-inch wheelbase, an increase of one-half an inch. The Skylark, which has been completely restyled for 1954, is powered by the 200 horsepower Roadmaster engine. Sports Afield By TED RESTING Many articles have been writ ten about outboard boat bottoms, but nearly all deal with how these make a boat act when at full speed. The writers overlook the problem of the angler, for during the time he has a line in the water he is trolling, or working slowly with oars, or he may be at a stand still. How does the bottom affect the small boat’s action then? Inasmuch as boats rock or tip from side to side, the curves or angles that the bottom takes from the keel on out are those that count, when steadiness is being considered. Bottom - type, and width and length are the main things where stability is concern ed, but not the whole story. Height of sides and of seats also enter in and so does the flare of the sides. For example, flare can finally check a tip so severe that the chine is no longer acting as a Dk ink it Over! YOUR STATE AND MINE S OMETIME ago we had the pleasure of hearing Audley Ward, District Farm Agent, of Aiken, make one of his excel lent speeches at Rocky Bottom. In this address he gave a list of “South Carolina Firsts,’’ which was very interesting and informative. At our request, he furnished us with this list and gave us permission to use it as we saw fit. t Feeling that many South Car olinians are not as familiar with the greatness of this state as they should be, and that a series of short articles about our state and the many things in which it leads, would be of great interest to our people, it is our purpose for a time to devote this space to such a series. Many of you might like to clip them for your scrapbooks. Did you know that a small South Carolina city has become the greatest mule market in the world? Watch this space next week. PRESIDE] CAPITAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY 'Founded on Foith~Dedicoted to Service” COLUMBIA, S. C. break; a rounded side, on the other hand, will let a boat in a bad tip roll right on over. Depth, or weighv, or both, to a keel can make a boat steadier. As you see, there are many an gles to this tippiness business. And we must remember that some fishermen can always bal ance their boat while in it—they do so instinctively. And some can’t. Willard Crandall, boats and motors editor for Sports Afield magazine, thinks that at slow speeds the roundbottom handles better than other types. This does not mean that with a light load a wide round-bottom runabout will out-perform a V-bottom rowboat. It means that, generally, round- bottom boats' are smoother steer ing, fnake more even turns, re spond in all ways more exactly. Flat-bottoms have the advan tage of a level floor to walk on, and where you can put gas cans, minnow buckets or anything else. If you drop a plug in a round-bot tom, it is likely to roll out of sight under a floorboard, but in a flat- bottom it’ll stay put so you can pick it up. Flat-bottoms not only won’t tip far in shallows, but they also get stuck there less easily/ But it is hard to get one unstuck, for they become fast for the width pf the boat—not just at the keel—and they can’t be rocked loose as readily as a craft with a round bottom. The V-bottom? Crandall puts It somewhere between the two, a little closer to the flat than to the round. ARMY’S “NEW LOOK” . . . Admiral Arthur Radford, chair man of joint chiefs of staff, says U.
