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
