“We have m ade nearly as m any
engineering and design changes
this year as we did last,” said
Ivan L. Wiles, general m anager
of Buick and president of General
Motors. “Yet we have retained the
outstanding styling featu res th at
made Buick the third best selling
car in the nation. O ur new styling
plus the spectacular increase in
perform ance resulting from high
er compression engines and our
new
varible pitch
Dynaflow,
m akes the 1955 Buick the g re a t
est value we have ever offered
the car-buying public.”
The panoram ic windshield, pion
eered by Buick last year, has been
retained for 1955 along with the
sloping doorbelt line and full rear

g re a te r protection from blowouts,
are standard on all models except
those equipjted with wire wheels.
Pow er brakes, offered as option

principle gives fully adequate
braking under all conditions.
Im proved power steering is
standard equipm ent on the Road-
m aster and Super, and optional
on all o th er models Previously
power steering was stan d ard on
the R oadm aster only.
Buick today presented a com
plete new-line of cars, featuring
beautiful, all-new styling and
m ore powerful V-8 engines, plus
a revolutionary new variable
pitch Dynaflow transm ission th at
