Newest Buick \fet
We’ve introduced a lot of new Buicks to
the local scene—but never before one
as new as this.
Inside and outside, top to toe, end to end—this
is the newest Buick yet.
And it’s not just new for newness itself—but
new in ways that make driving more comfort*
able, safer and more fun.
Wil see what we mean when you study these
gorgeous new Buicks close up.
They’re inches lower and stunningly styled
from stem to stern — yet each is wondrously
roomy inside.
They bring a wide-eyed new visibility of the
road ahead with a rakish windshield that adds
hundreds more square inches of glass area.
They’re new in ride, with a new contour frame
chassis that "nests” your going —giving new
roadability with a lower center of gravity—
yet road clearance is unchanged.
They’re new in handling with a new Buick
developed ball-joint suspension that makes;
steering and cornering easier while it levelizes
braking.
But above and beyond all else —these 1957
Buicks are brand new in performance:
—with a V8 engine that’s new from the crank
shaft up, to give you the highest power and
compression in all Buick annals.
—with an advanced new Variable Pitch
Dynaflow* that brings you such instant
response, such smoothness, such a full range
of fluid motion in "Drive” that the need for
"Low” is all but eliminated.
All this covers only the big advances in the
1957 Buick.
There are other wonderful new things—the
new safety instrument panel—the new color
mate interiors — the new counterbalanced
brake pedals —well over a hundred and fifty
new features in all.
As your Buick dealer, we’re ready to show you
these newest Buicks yet—and how easy you’ll
find it to call one your own. Stop in and see
us this week.
*Netv Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow is the only
Dynaflow Buick builds today. It is standard on Roadmaster,
Super and Century—optional at modest extra cost on tht
Special.
