Output Of Autos
This Year Likely
To Show Decrease
By DAVID J. WILKIE
Auociotod PrM Automotive Kdltor
DETROIT UP) Production
possibilities continue to attract
major interest in the nation's au
tomobile industry.
Everywhere there is more than
the usual amount of concern be
cause 1951 output will be below
last year's. Forgotten, it seems, is
the fact last year's 8,000,000 unit
output topped the previous record
by approximately one and three
quarter million vehicles.
The suggestion by some observ.
ers that this year's production to
tal may come close to the 1949 vol
ume of 6,200,000 vehicles is re
ceived somewhat dubiously in most
industry quarters.
Among the trade analysts, how
ever, the feeling is growing that
1951 will be another high produc
tion year, probably exceeding all
other years excepting 1949 and
1950.
Some of the experts figure 1951
passenger car output alone may
come to 4,500,000 and that nearly
two-thirds of them will be built
in the first half of the year.
Entering Into these calculations,
of course, is the fact the bulk of
defense work is still on paper and
cannot get under way for many
months. It also has been suggested
in some quarters that increased
production of steel and other ma
terials may bring government
stockpiles to desired levels much
sooner than has been generally ex
pected. That would mean an eas
ing of controls on civilian consump
tion. No Limit On Output
It can be noted, however, that
many tasks now being assigned to
the auto industry for various
weapons will not reach the pro
duction stage until next yenr. It
is a safe assumption that once the
production stage is reached output
will grow much more rapidly than
it did in the auto industry at the
start of World War II.
It should also be noted that while
civilian use of materials is being
reduced there has been no direct
ive limiting the number of ve
hicles a manufacturer may build.
It goes without saying that ways
and means of stretching a given
amount of steel, copper, alumi
num and other restricted materi
als over a greater number of ve
hicles has been getting serious
study In the Industry laboratories.
Among the things that can be
sharply cut back are decorative

(Only Buick can m
ah this statement)
Bend an ear to the deep baritone
song of this marvel motor, and
you'll know we aren't fooling when
we call it Fireball.
Mister, that's Power, with a capital P.
What happens beneath that brawny
Buick bonnet happens in no other car
in the world.
ears ahead of the rush to high-compression
valvc-in-head engines, Buick
was in there pitching for more power
from every drop of fuel.
The result was and is a spectacular
engineering phenomenon that makes
itself felt the instant you touch tpe to
gas treadle.
You command a rapid-fire sequence
of tiny tornados, letting loose their
pent-up power every five inches that
a Buick travels.
If you could look inside "
that Fireball engine,
you'd see the reason.
Instead of the flat-topped
pistons used in other cars,
Buick uses a turbo-top
piston, contoured like this:
So the inrushing fuel whirlwinds into
a compressed ball that adds a super
urge to the downstroke of the piston.
And you get the thrill and thrift of
this Buick "first" in every mile you
drive.
JVlore than that, you get an engine
tried-and-true an engine that's been
polished and perfected in every detail
up through the years. .""
Again and again, compression ratios
have been stepped up to keep pace
with advances in fuels. Self-setting
valve lifters contribute to silence.
Micropoise balance and Hi-Poised
engine mountings add two more
Buick exclusives.
And the silken might of this Fireball's
power has been made more beauti
fully obedient by still another "first"
Dynaflow Drive.
So we list as a prime reason why
"smart buy's Buick" 'this Fireball
power plant and a host of happy
owners will say "Amen."
Better see your dealer soon, to find
out what you've been missing.
