slate’s clean, the past is
A past, you’re making a new
beginning on a new year you
hope will be happier and finer
and richer — how about doing
the job up right? ’
You spot the fun possibilities in
this brilliant and buoyant Buick
just by watching it flash by, but
have you been in to try it?
Do you know what it’s like —
first hand, we mean — to have a
hundred-plus Dynaflash horse-
power waiting your treadle-
foot’s nudge? Have you sampled
the thrill in such an engine micro-
poise-balanced to
smoothness a
wrist watch
can’t hope to
equal?
- ■ri*1'
M”*; r ,i. .
\
Today’s win-
ter-roughened
roads give you swell chance to
try out BuiCoil Springing’s gentle
ride — raw weather emphasizes
the stout snugness of Unisteel
Bodies by Fisher and the con-
venience of the Flash-Way Di-
rection Signal.
Now’s when you most need firm
new rubber — sure, soft, tiptoe ‘
brakes—Buick’s automatic
choke — stout, taut frames and
rugged bodies, ahd why wait for
spring* to buy beauty that gives
your spirits a lift?
Then too, driving speeds are
naturally lower now and driving
distances shorter, making this
the best time of all to get a car
properly started in life.
So figure it out! It’s a new year.
You’ve turned a new leaf. Ask
your Buick dealer what a new
Buick will cost you now — and
let every month of 1940 con-
tribute to a happy new year!
