UICK’S remarkable freedom from vibration is
due primarily to three vitally important factors.
First__ the inherent smoothness of the Buick
Valve-in-Head six-cylinder engine. Second—
rubber engine mountings, front and rear. And
third— the scientific and almost perfect balance
uf the entire Buick crankshaft assembly.
