Buick Character
Makes Buick Value
Buick value is something more than appears
on the surface. It is more than the excellence
and beauty of Buick design—more than the
greater riding comfort, power and safety that
Buick provides. Buick’s value comes from
the sum total of all those Buick qualities and
traditions which together make up Buick
character. A Buick owner fully appreciates
Buick character. He knows the dependable,
satisfy ig and trouble-free transportation
which Buick gives, however long or however
far a Buick owner may elect to drive his car.
