You slip into this trim Buick's seat
— and right off the bat you know
you've found something.
The cushions fit — the wheel nestles
in your hand — the whole blessed
beauty seems to say, "Welcome, friend t
Where've you been?"
Then you seek out an open road where
you can really try Compound Garbure-
tionf—and press down your right toe!
Instantly there's a rush of power, as if
an extra engine had gone to work.
Fact is - one has.
Under your bonnet a special, sccond
carburetor has cut in, opening up a
fresh reservoir of power not to be
found in any other engine.
Most of the time that extra carburetor
is idle. Your car operates solely on
the small, frugal forward carburetor.
But any time you need or want power
— press down your toe and away you
go, with two fuel mixers working!
Thrilling? You bet. But by actual test
and experience, also wore thrifty — as
much as 10% to 15% more thrifty
• than previous Buicks of like size.
Only Buick can give you Compound
Carburetion — and even that is only
one of Buick's many desirabilities.
There's great size—lush comfort—the
smartest of style — solid Buick good*
ncss — all at prices
that spell an unmis-
takable bargain.
Why not ask your
Buickdealer,"How
much?"
