Why hold back from the fun and
thrill and pride of bossing a
Buick-when you can boss such a big
and strapping beauty for the price
of a smaller car?
Hard to believe? Listen . . .
If you can afford any new car, you
can afford this brawny Buick Special
Sedan -for a very simple reason.
This Buick is priced within a few
dollars of the well-known smaller
cars - and actually costs less than
some models of those very same cars.
(The price we show here proves
that.)
Want more proof? For two years in
a row now, Buick has outsold every
other car in America except two of
those well-known smaller cars. And
you can bet your bottom dollar that
it takes bedrock prices to stay in the
Top 3 of the nation's best sellers.
But even that isn't the whole story
not by a long shot.
Folks are buying Buicks in record
numbers because they find in these
big beauties a lot more automobile
for the money.
They find here more styling fresh
ness and distinction more snap and
ginger and power thrill-more com
fort and luxury-more ride stability
and steadiness-and more structural
solidity and pure automobile than
the same money buys elsewhere.
