I
v
1 our first eye-smacking look at the
line of lovelies pictured here tells you
that they've got what it takes in visual
charm.
Hut the fellow who said a picture
speaks louder than a thousand words
wasn't talking about these superbly
able 1951 Huicks.
Sure, they're smart to look at—smart
in style and smart in dress.
But they're also smartly powered—
smartly engineered—smartly priced.
A nd it would take a book to describe in
full their deep-down goodness.
WWs been done for ’51 is to
take the best automobiles that ever
bore the Buick name—and top them.
\ Optional at ntra root—availably on moot modal*. {Not
proaontly availably in California or MaaoaobnaoUi)
Come, look them over, and you’ll
see what we mean.
There’s the SPECIAL which can ac
curately be titled "the newest car
in the world”—new in structure,
new in power, new in dimensions,
new in thrift—and potent in price
appeal.
There’s the SUPER—that looks and
is a smart new edition of its "best
seller’’ forebear.
Then there’s the ROADMASTER—
that coddles your anatomy on lux
urious new fabrics and cloud-soft
cushions—pampers your pride with
its lordly bearing — shoots a deli
cious tingle right up your spine by
the exuberance of its power and
action.
We could go on and on. This is
the car that *'breathes through its
nose.” This is the car that sports a
brand-new front-end styling. This
is the car with new high-visibility
instrument dials, more easily read
at night. I his is the car with glare
and-heat-reducing glass! and a host
of other news-making features you
can’t afford to miss.
So your No. 1 date this week end
is with your Buick dealer. It won’t
take you long to conclude that he’s
offering the smartest buys of the
year.
