Come next year, or the year after that, you'll be seeing on other cars some of the styling features you see in Buick today. We expect it. It has happened before. And there is good reason for it popular appeal, rp lake, for example, the car model shown here. We call it a Riv iera. Most people call it a "hardtop." When Buick introduced this body type in 194'), it was a completely new thing. And it was an instant hit. Today, Huick "hardtops" outsell all other models in the line. It's the styling America has taken to its heart. So today you find that every major car maker has his own version of this Buick original. (And we can't blame them a bit. They know a good thing when they see it.) M aybe you've noticed other such bor rowings from Buick. The diagrammatic sketch shown here lists some of the Buick advances that are now in the best melon patch" reflected in the styling of other cars -or will be soon. For you can be sure that the great pano ramic windshield first shown by Buick this year will be copied. It's too good to pass up. And you can be sure that the full rear-wheel cutout now on every 1954 Buick Riviera and Convertible will show up elsewhere in the future. It's a sports -car touch that hits a really popular note. W. e're sure of such things. We're sure because the tomorrow-styled Buick of today seems to be just what people want. Because Buick sales are soaring. Because Buick now outsells every other car in America except two of the so-called "low Price three. " So to you we say-why wait another day to see and drive a new Buick? It's the beauty of the year. It's the buy of the times. And it's a wonderful way to head up the parade. Drop in this week for a demonstration, won't you?
