LIKE YOURE WEARING SPURS
Come try it —
and you're in BUICKS THRIILAMINUTE CLUB
Tuf. tub ills begin in the first sixty seconds — and
from then on they come in clusters.
Bight off, you feel the stepped-up getaway in Buick’s
new Variable Fitch Dynaflo\v*-a blazing new take-olf
even before you switch the pitch.
Because now-right in the topmost inch of pedal travel
— right where you do most of your driving — right
in the fuel-saving economy range — you’re moving
with a solid new “take-hokl” getaway that’s brisk and
blessedly smooth.
Then you double the thrill.
For when you want to pass—or climb—or get out of
a tight''spot fast —you floor the pedal and switch the
pitch. That brings you an absolutely smooth burst of
full-power go-ahead on the split second—and it’s the
nearest tiring to soaring flight yet.
It’s a double-barreled package of excitement-and it’s
teamed with the most powerful VS engine in Buick
history -va 322-cubic-inch engine with no less than
9.5 to 1 compression in every Century, Suter and
Road master.
All that would seem like thrill enough-but you’ll find
you’ve hardly scratched the surface.
You’ll find yourself glowing all over from the sweet and
level buoyancy of Buick’s great new ride.
You’ll feel a serene satisfaction from the way this trim
beauty handles and corners and tracks to the road with
the truest sense of direction yet.
And certainly you’ll have to feci the good feeling that’s
yours just from bossing this big and brawny and beau
tifully sculptured automobile that’s like a thing alive,
and impeccably obedient.
We’d like you to know and feel all this firsthand—just
by trying out a new Buick. That’s all you do to join
Buick’s Thrill-A-Minute Club.
Why not become a member in good sitting today?
And when you do, we have some big-thrill news on
prices, too.
*Ncw Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow is the only Dynaflow
