ACROSS this broad land there are
thousands of people who have
been doing themselves a disfavor.
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?
