Quicks are
As Good As They Look
By the distinctive appearance of Buick
motor cars, you may judge their inner
quality. The same engineering thought
that developed the Valve-in-Head
engine, Sealed Chassis, automatic lubrica
tion, Buick mechanical 4-wheel brakes, and
like factors of superior performance,
is also responsible for the grace and
the symmetry of Buick body lines.
