Buick for the price of a smaller car, so more
and more people are getting this bigger buy
for their money.
They want the bigger package of sheer auto
mobile for the money that they get in Buick
— bigger in power thrill, in roomy comfort,
in riding steadiness, in structural solidity.
They want the added prestige and pleasure
of owning Buick styling and size —and the
added safety and sureness of Buick road
ability and handling ease.
They want, too, the spectacular performance
and better gas mileage of Variable Pitch
Dynaflowf—yours at modest extra cost.
And they certainly want the choice Buick
offers of a car in every price range, with
each one the buy in its field —the low-price
Special, the supremely-powered Century,
the extra-roomy Super, and the custom
built Roadmaster.
This is a Buick —a 2-door, 6-passenger
Special Sedan.
It packs a walloping 188-hp V8 engine under
the hood —is carried on a strapping 122-inch
wheelbase—rides with the luxury cushioning
of all-coil springing, the solid steadiness of a
full-length torque-tube drive, the extra safety
and silence of tubeless tires.
It’s big and brawny and road-steady and
roomy—each seat cushion measures over five
feet in width.
Yet this beauty—as the price we show here
proves—delivers locally for just about the
price of the well-known smaller cars —even
below some models of those same cars.
