Seems they “ just naturally assume” a Buick is beyond their reach—and so pass up the car they’re really itch ing to own. Now why “assume” anything as Im portant to your happiness as a new car? Why not see for yourself how de livered prices run —how close Buick matches your own budget—how fre quently it is priced under some cars you may be considering? Then — if there is a particular car in mind—sharpen up your pencil a little. I s it a six —or an eight, like Buick? If an eight, is it a valve-in-head eight? That adds a plus in efficiency, you know, even w ithout the extra edge of Buick's Fireball power. Will you ride on four soft coil springs, as in Buick—or on only two? Will the drive be through a sealed torque-tube that keeps the rear wheel assembly firmly aligned ? It is in a Buick. Do you get soft, low-pressure tires as part of the price —or as extras? Will you have bumper guards built as part of the bumper, or a one-piece cast metal grille that can be costly to repair or replace?
