WHAT MAKES BUICK DRIVE SO SMOOTHLY?
Buick's Exclusive Turbine Drive is Jet-Smooth...
No Mechanical Gears Ever Shift!
In a day when so many tars are alike, we ’
you should know how basically different an
basically better a Buick is built.
For instance, no car at Buick’s price, nor any car
at a higher price, offers you so smooth, so depend
able, so trouble-free an automatic transmission as
Buick’s Turbine Drive.
In ordinary automatic transmissions, gears are
shifted automatically. But the shift is there! You
feel it shift or hear it shift. And with each shift, the
engine must adjust to a change in load, the wheels
must handle a change in traction.
With today’s Buick in “Drive”—the flow of power
rom toe to wheels is jet-smooth, faster than ever
and uninterrupted. The only thing that shifts is the
pitch of stator blades in a swift, powerful current
of oil . . . high angle for superb performance in
starting or passing ... low angle for best economy
at cruising speeds.
Turbine Drive Transmission is available in every
Buick. If you choose the LeSabre — the lowest
priced Buick — it is a modestly priced option. If
your choice is Invicta—the high-performance Buick
—or Electra—the finest Buick of all . . . it is yours
as standard equipment. But the only sure way to
get this quality Buick feature is to buy a Buick. And
this is the year. This is Buick at its all-time best!

Nothing shifts but the pitch of the stator
blades in a jet-smooth flow of oil. High
angle for quick starts and passing.
Low angle for economical cruising.
