The Better Buick now has 60
and 75 horsepower in its
famous Valve-in-Hcad engine.
IJcre is the extra power you
need for security and case in
the mountains, for (lashing
get-away on the level.
This big power, plus Buick
Automatic Heat Control, puts
Buick ahead on the hills. Au
tomatic Heat Control regulates
the temperature of the gasoline ,
mixture. It prevents overheat
ing and consequent loss of
power on heavy pulls in any
weather.
The Better Buick j built for
hills. Going up, the Better
Buick's 60 and 75 horsepower,
coming down the positive
security of Buick mechanical
four-wheel brakes.
