A!! this-and more
miles per gallon too/
Be sure to test out
the phenomenal effect of
"variable pitch propellers'
in Dynafiow Drive*!
A jW AY BE—among the upcoming
1V1 crop of new 1955 models —
there’s another car with an advance
that can hold a candle to this one.
But we doubt it. We doubt it be-
cause nowhere—among the rumors
of what’s cooking in automotive
laboratories — is there anything to
compare with what’s actually hap-
pened at Bilick.
It all started with the fact that
modern air liners get two big ad-
vantages because they can change
the pitch of their propellers.
First, they get off the ground
hundreds of feet sooner than they
used to.
Second, they can stretch their gaso-
line by setting propeller blades at
just the right “pitch” for cruising.
MILTON BERLE STARS FOR BUICK
See the Buick-Berte Show Alternate Tuesday Evenings
So Buick engineers asked them-
selves—“If you can do it with air,
why can’t you do it with oil —the
oil inside a Dynaflow Drive?”
And to make a long story short —
they could, and they did.
They designed and engineered
the propeller-like blades inside
the “stator” of a Dynaflow Drive
so they can change their pitch as
much as 75 degrees.
That provides one setting for more-
miles-per-gallon,
and another for an
instant safety-surge
of power when it’s
needed.
beyond the full throttle position—
and a-way you go!
Of course, there’s a lot more to
make a visit to our showrooms the
“must” of the new-car year.
There’s a step-up in styling as sen-
sational as the step-up in power.
And the step-up in horsepower
is this: 236 in the Rqadmaster,
Super and Century-188 in the
low-priced SPECIAL.
All you have to do is
push the acceler-
ator pedal down to
the last half-inch
Pay-off on progress!
But the thrill of
the year is Buick’s
latest engineering
“first” —and what
it does for the
man or woman
who drives the
latest and greatest
Dynaflow Drive.
* Standard on Roadmaster, optional at extra cost on other Series.
Buicks today go a lot farther
on a gallon of gas, thanks to
constant improvement in
Dynaflow and in engine
design. Even the new 236-hp
ROADMASTER averages 4.8
more miles per gallon than
Buicks of six years ago.

The so-caUed "common cold" hen
long been causing the public an
annual loss oi more time and money
than all other ailments combined.
If you are run-down and your
resistance is low, there may be some
minor condition unknown to you
causing the trouble. Protect your-
self against the menace o! colds by
having your physician check your
system without delay. Remember, a
"common cold" often results in a
prolonged seige of influenza or
pneumonia.
