So it's a refreshing thing, people tell us, to sec one car that quite clearly knows where it's going and shows it inside and out. ou can't mistake this poised and ready fashion plate for anything but a Buick you're sure from a glance that you'll find it steady as a battle cruiser and full of ginger as one of Grandma's cookies. Your eye tells you it's big - you step in anJ find this bigness carried out in usable room as well as measurable inches. A broad bonnet promises plenty power and you get it with such vel vety new smoothness that you need to check the battery-charge needle I pit No gears ever shift in DYNAFLOW DRIVl In Bukk's nw Dynaflew Drlv., sliding gear tranwntuioiu and compl. gtor chong.rt ar. mad. unnacusary.
