scape all the year, if thoughtful
selections are mad e," said Mrs.

the Red Springs H. D. Club at the
home of Mrs. Clyde Moore, Thurs-

should be pruned once each year,
usually December, January or
February. Shrubs also take up less
time and work and are less ex-
\ pensive. They need less water
[when once established.

1955 Buicks On
Display Friday
At Hash Motors
FLINT, MICH., 15—Buick today
presented a complete new line of
cars, featuring beautiful, all-new
s.yling and more powerful V-8
engines, plus a revolutionary new
variable pitch Dynaflow transmis-
sion that greatly increases perfor-
mance.
The new models will go on dis-
, play in dealer showrooms Friday,
Nov. 19.
Style-wise the new Buicks fea-
ture a new front end with a new
wide-screen grille, new rear fen-
dors that give the trunk corr.'part-
n.Vnt a longer, lower silhouette,
new tail lights patterned after
those on the experimental Wild-
cat II, and exquisite new interiors
in many color combinations of
nylon, leather and cordaveen.
Many bright new exterior colors
have been developed for 1955 and
will be offered in attractive two-
tcne combinations.
Horsepower has been increased
to 236 in the Roadmaster, Super
and Century Series and 188 in the
Special.
The panoramic windshield, pio-
neered by Buick last year, has
been retained for 1955 along with
the sloping doorbelt line and full
rear wheel cutout on all two-door
models.
New tubeless tires, which offer
I greater protection fronr? blowouts,
are standard on all models except
those equipped with wire wheels.
Buick's distinctive front end
styling for 1955 consists of a new,
wide-screen grille with honey-
comb design, visored headlights
and a new larger bumper. The
hood has been lowered for greater
visibility.
The improved performance of
the 1955 Buick is attributed to the
combination of the new variable
pitch Dynaflow transmission and
the more powerful V-8 engines
with their higher con.'pression ra-
tios.
For all normal driving variable
pitch Dynaflow operates on the
same principle as last year's trans-
'cnission. When additional perform-
ance is desired, the driver merely
presses the accelerator all the
way to the floor. This changes the
The Buick Special—A Standout for

SLEEK NEW STYLING and record-high horse-
power make the Buick Special four-door sedan for
1955 a standout in the lower priced field. Its V-8
power plant has been increased to an all-time high
of 188 horsepower which, with Buick's new Vari-
able Pitch Dynaflow transmission, gives the Special
performance and maneuverability unequalled by
any automobile in its field. Setting a new styling
trend are a wide-screen grille and a roll-edge
bumper with sturdy dual wing guards. For the first
time, Buick's choice selection of power assists—
power brakes, power steering, window lifts and
front seat adjustment—are available as optional
equipment on the Special.

it
a bright NEW freshness greets
your eyes and tells you:
Buick's done it again.
You see it in the bold distinction
of that gleaming Wide-Screen
Grille. You see it in the rakish
sweep of the rear-end contours.
You see it in the whole fore-and-
aft newness of fleet-lined grace
that marks Buick the beauty thrill
of 1955.
New horsepower — up to 236
You learn more when you get the
power story. I p to new peaks go
the horsepowers of every Buick
V8 engine —a walloping 188 hp in
the low-price SPFOAL — a mighty
236 hp in $he CENTURY, SUPER
and Roadmaster.
And it's new, more responsive, far
abler power you can literally feel
as you go.
Hut even bigger Buick news for
1955 is something more than style
and power. It's what the "variable
pitch propeller" now has done for
Dynaflow Drive.*
Up goes performance —
and gas mileage too
When you find it necessary to push
the pedal to the floor board, you
do more than call on the greatest
high-compression V8 power in
Buick history.
You do what a pilot does when he
heads, his plane down a runway.
V>u do in oil what he does in air—
you cut down take-off time by using
"variable pitch propellers."
In this case, the propeller blades
are inside the Dynaflow unit. But
they're engineered to swivel or
change their "pitch" just like plane
propellers —and with the same
result: one pitch for getaway,
another pitch for gas-saving fuel
efficiency.
And what you get in the way of
instantaneous safety-surge with
absolute smoothness, you can only
believe when you feel it.
This you have to try
Of course, we want you to come
and see the trend-setting new
Buicks—look into the betterments
in gasoline mileage that add new
thrift to these spectacular cars.
But this year, "seeing" is only the
beginning. So—while you join the
crowds viewing the new Buicks
this week end, make a date to get
behind the wheel as soon as you
possibly can. We promise you the
thrill of the year.
