The gerea Bates, models comprising the Series 115 group, which was In troduced Into the Bulck line less than four years ago." is finding particularly . ready ; acceptance among the fast-growing ranks of two-car owners, C. . W. Chnrchill, general sales manager of the Bnick Motor company, announced this week. Mr. Chnrchill was dis cussing the American fa-nily's in creasing recognition of its need for more than one automobile. Dealers reports, Mr. Chrnchill said. Indicate that a STirprlsIn? proportion of the Series 115 mod els" sold during Buick's record breaking past three months were boueht bT owners who already possessed one or more of the Series 120 or Series 128 models. Buick's retail sales for the period between' June 30 and Oct. 1 to taled 82,955 of which approximate ly half were cars of Series 115. Credit for the immediate suc cess of the Series 115 Buicks is given by dealers to the one-quality policy governing construction of the Bnick line, Though designed to the requirements of the driver who prefers a somewhat lighter ear than the 120-inch and the 128-inch wheelbase Buicks, the seven models on the 114 Inch wheelbase are Identical with the J, . others in quality of material, in I workmanship, and in engineering details.' : "This fact," said Mr. Churchill, : "has made our Series 115 cars popular among owners who bin long derived satisfaction from the larger Buicks. It Is only natural S that when need for a second car 1 arises, they turn again to Bulck. I Besides assuring themselves of re I . liable transportation, they secure 1: added convenience in operation i and servicing, through ue of two ( - or more cars of the same make." ' The Series 115 Buicks are de- signed to meet a fariety of owner 1 requirements. They Include fire- 1 passenger two-and four-door se- are of the soft fabric type.

The strains Individuality of the new Imperial "80 is heightened by the fact, that the car Is com pletely without manufacturer's in signia' whch tends to advertise it as to mike, except for the wings of the Chrysler radiator cap, Fed eo theft plate and Chrysler trade mark on the dash and door sill plates. Neither : on the radiator shell, hub caps or lamps can any manufacturer's identification be found.

It : Is ac centuated still more by matching the colorings of bumpers, radiator shells, trunk and even tire covers to fit each car turned out.

Seat Design i: , Chrysler has - accomplished ; an other unusual thing in fashioning - the back of the front seat straight across the ear, rather than follow . lng the conventional practice of aurving it. Its engineers have de mised a front seat that is equally as comfortable as the curved one, combining with that factor a full utilisation of the width of door openings, both "front nnd rear This also permits the use of flat ptate glass partition, ra her than t'Jei curved type oeretorre nni- - versallr employed, obviating those : light reflections that hae always been botteraome to rear seat oc cupants at night because of the "arred rlsa partition.

Each piston is now fitted with four rings of the new- type and-one oil wiper ring. Valves axe ailchrome steel. . The cylinder bore has been in creased to 8 5-8 Inches, with 5 inch piston stroke. An. efficient crankcase , rentllatlon system is built Into the engine, lengthening the useful life of the oil and min imizing the possibility of corrosion through impurities in the oil or lng. The manifold, of course. Is also ' constructed . to handle the great power, output,".! f The new clutch is of the single plate type, with, cushion drive. The transmission case Is i aluminum. The emergency brake lever is so shaped that handling It. is unus ually convenient. - Large ring gears' are used in the rear axle.
