OLDS FROM

Mrs. R. J. Donelson. 331 Ha
ven treet, returned to Medford
last week with new Oldsmo
bile 70 business coupe, which
he drove from the factory. Mr.
Donelson, who was accompanied
on the long trip by Mrs. J. C.
Cook, 805 West Second street,
averaged 20.6 miles per gallon of
gas, according to Rook Emerson,
owner of ttie Medford Garage
and local Oldsmobile dealer.
Mrs. Donelson reports that
the Oldsmobile factory has been
operating day and night since
the introduction of the new
hydra-matic drive.
"Since this was my fourth
trip over to the Oldsmobile
plant." Mrs. Donelson said, "I
should not get excited about It.
but each time I go there the fac
tory is larger and busier and
there are big truck loads of
new cars leaving every few
minutes. "I had seen one of the
1940 Oldsrnobilcs which was
equipped with the new hydra
matic drive, but had never ex
perienced the thrill of driving
one. So the man in charge took
me for a ride of a few blocks
inside the plant to instruct me
In the operation of the new fluid
drive. Words cannot express the
thrill of sitting behind the wheel
of a new Olds hydra matic drive
and starting out to learn first
hand what a wonderful improve
ment this is over all other cars
manufactured today.
"It is a real pleasure to drive
in traffic with both hands free
to operate the steering wheel
and to stop and start by using
only the foot break and foot
throttle.
"After leaving Lansing, we
drove to Luddington and crossed
Lake Michigan on the Pere Mar
quette Ferry for Manitowoc.
Wis. This was a very pleasant
ride and a new experience for
Mrs. Cook as it was her first trip
on one of those large car ferries
which operate the year arouhd.
When it came time to drive our
new car on to the ferry at Lud
dington we learned that this was
the first hydra matic drive any
of the crew had driven aboard
chip.
"When we arrived home we
found that we had driven 3150
miles and I can truthfully say
that every mile I sat behind the
wheel of that new car with its
fluid drive was a real pleasure.
"A new experience for me
was to come up back of a log
ging truck on Green Springs
mountain and be compelled to
follow it at one mile per hour
with no gears to shifts"

more able, than the other fellow has.
So when you can do that and grt a

step right up to the head of the class?
Just look around you. Can you name
a sleeker, trimmer, neater, smarter
looking car than this 1940 Buick?
Do you see anything on the road that
can keep pace with its husky, valve-in-head
straight-eight engine-Dyna.

trically balanced after assembly to

Ever see anything slicker than the
way Its soft, rear toll springs float
the body serenely along, even though
the wheels be dancing?
You won't find a bigger car any
where at its price, measured bumper .

heavy and stout.
You won't find cooling systems
sealed under pressure, Fore-N-Aft
Flash-Way Direction Signals with
automatic cut-off, nor as many cost
free "extras" included in the price.
In short, here's your one best 1940
