No Ifs, ands or buts about it
When you give the gun to a 1955 Buick with
Dynaflow Drive, you move.
In the instant you push down the pedal, you
get the action you've called for immediate
getaway from a standing start, or immediate
safety-surge out of a tight spot on the
highway. ' ' " -
It's not magic, this thrilling and pulsed
quickening response though it feels like the
closest thing to it.
It's a principle of the modern airplane,
brought for the first time to an automotive
transmission.
Twenty "variable pitch propellers" inside
the Dynaflow unit itself can change their
. anglelike the propeller of the airliner can
change its pitch from take-off position to
cruising position.
And what this brings to you at the wheel
of a 1955 Buick is the nearest thing to flight
on wheels. Far better gas mileage in your
normal driving and cruising. Spectacular
;l. . new response when you want it for extra
. quick getaway or emergency acceleration.
; - . . - c
But all this, mind you, with the absolute
smoothness that is constant in Dynaflow
Drive. ' v'" - r ' ::-i:-::-'-r.'
Surely, a demonstration of Variable PitcK
Dynaflow is a Buick must this year. Well
be happy to do the honors and show you,
in the doing, what a whale of a buy you
make here. Drop in this week, won't you?.
