Purina tests show that cattlemen can sell pasture for moire

Here’s why—cows and steers eat grass which is broken down
into vital nutrients by digestive action. Millions of tiny
bacteria in the rumen help do this job. Purina Range

rr^HERE seems to be some confusion about
JL what a hardtop really is, and we’d like
to set the matter straight.
A hardtop is a car that looks like a Convert-
ible with the top up—but has a solid steel
roof overhead—and no center posts in the
side window areas.
Up until just recently, it could be built in
volume only with two doors—not more—
because it would take wholly new struc-
tural principles to hinge another set of
doors without floor-to-roof center posts.
But Buick came up with those new struc-
tural principles and is now building—in
volume—hardtops with four doors.
You see one pictured here. It’s the
4-Door Riviera. And it's taking the country
by storm ...
Because here, at long last, is an automobile
with the sleek and sporty styling of a true
!\ardtop—but with separate doors for rear-
seat passengers, plus the added roo/n of a full-
sine Buick Sedan.
On top of that, this beauty is all Buick—
with the buoyant ride of Buick’s all-coil
springing-the walloping might of Buick’s
record-high V8 power-the whip-quick
getaway and sizable gas savings of Buick’s
spectacular Variable Pitch Dynaflow.*
And it’s available in Buick’s two lowest-
priced Series — the budget-tagged 188-hp
Special, and the high-performance 236-hp
CENTURY, illustrated here.
Come visit us for a first-hand meeting with
the 4-Door Riviera—and see how quickly
and how easily the last word in automobiles
can be yours. 1
* Dynaflow Drive it standard on Roadmaster, optional at
extra cost on other Series.
