Taft chafed a bit Wednesday un
der the constant surveillance of
newsmen.

Here in the driveway is a Buick. It has just
arrived. It belongs to this proud young
couple. They’ve just “arrived” too.
They’ve arrived at a discovery—the discovery
that owning a Buick instead of a “low-priced
car” isn’t so much a matter of money.
It’s a matter of knowing the facts of life. Buick
prices are closer to the prices of smaller, less
powerful, less distinguished cars than most
people think.
Why don’t you check into this?
You’ll find you could pay $300 to $400 more —
' and still not match the horsepower of this
nimble beauty.
You could pay hundreds of dollars more—and
still not get any more interior room, or richer
fabrics.
But that’s only part of the story.
The big thing about any car is the way it goes.
So you ought to find out how this car rides the
road—the freedom from bobble and sway that
cost a million real dollars to develop.
Ybu ought to sample the way Dynaflow Drive*
,V * /
feeds the power —with a steady swoop ar_ j
unbroken smoothness in city traffic, on hills, or
out on the open road.
And you ought to know how it feels to touch
off that Fireball 8 Engine. With all its might,
this high-compression valve-in-head gets a lot
of miles from a gallon of gas.
%
We 'll tell you this—because a lot of folks have
told us this: No matter what car you’re driving
now—no matter what cars you’ve looked at—
they’ll never seem the same after you try this
one. 1
Just give us a chance to prove it —and you’ll
have a lot of fun.
