The Better Buick is big enough and balanced correctly to carry itself well on any road, but not too big to be ungainly or hard to handle. Seating space is generous. Leg room is ample enough for tall people to relax, Cushions are deep and yielding and tilted to a restful angle. Rear springs are Buick cantil evers, which smooth out road inequalities far better than any other type. Special size low pressure tires are standard equipment on all models.
