Started out in my model 17 Buick in six inches of snow on the morning of February 8rd to post iomt sals bills. I cover.-.l HA milt over roads nobody had' traveled ioo4 the snow, and was in high every minute, up hill in cluded. I left my motor running all the time I was posting, and used J gallons of gasoline for the trip. 1 have watched several other makes of cars in the past two years, and every time I have seen a Buick, it has always been do ing the work.
