Summer Hours - 8 to 7 Under Founder's Management Since 1930 When Buick introduced this nation's first hardtop-the Riviera folks went for it, and fast They liked the Convertible look of this 2-door beauty long, low and rakish. They liked the added security of the steel roof overhead. And they certainly liked the absence of center posts in the side window areas which gave a completely unbroken view left and right. People liked it all so well that, over the past six years, they made the Riviera the biggest-selling hardtop in theworld, bar none. And it still is. Now Buick has come up with another great advance in hardtops the 4-Door Riviera and it's a sensa tional hit. It has everything the original 2-Door Riviera has-plus separate doors for rear-seat passengers, and a whale of a lot more room for them. Rock-solid ia-pillars on either side are what latch the front doors and hinge the rear ones. So there's no center post above the door line and a completely open sweep of view to both sides. And the roominess provided by this gorgeous new hardtop is really some thing over 9 inches more hiproom and 5 inches more legroom in the rear.' Wh y don't you come see this brand new kind of automobile that's heading up the parade of the hottest-selling line of Buicks in history? That way you can also try Buick comfort, Buick power, Buick ride and handling and roadability plus the electrifying action of Buick's Variable Pitch Dynaflow. Do it this week tomorrow would be fine and you'll see what record volume really means in the way of record-high trade-in deals. Variable Pitch Dynaflow is the only Dynaflow Buick builds today. It is standard on ROADMASTER, optional at modest extra cost on other Series. Thrill of the year is P MOW' f::f &ffgost .'
