It’s a fa c t... if you can afford any new car, you can afford a Buick!
Buick is now third in sales in America.. .due to completely brand
new styling, panoramic windshield, stepped-up Fireball \ -8 engines
. and a host of other advanced features. Buick s ahead in sales, too,
because lower monthly payments make it by far the easiest to own.
