It has, also, wondrous handling ease, with Power Steer
ing as standard equipment. It has superb comfort. It
has sumptuous fabrics and tailoring. And its acoustics
are so thoroughly mastered that it may well be one of
the world's most quiet cars.
But no listing of facts can do true justice to this phe
nomenal automobile, or to its brilliant brothers, the
1953 Supers and Specials.
And no words can really tell you the beauty you see,
the comfort you feel, the excitement you experience
when you look at and drive any one of these big, beauti
ful, bounteous Buicks for 1953.
