People who look for and appre
ciate comfort in a motor car
arc invited to try the added
comfort in the Better Buick.
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.
Your first long ride in the Bet
ter Buick will show you ho"w
restful miles can be.
