When the Nation hurries, H hurriet by telephone. And to
day speed is the battle cry, at America builds its defenses.
Whether it's tanks or planes, bombs or bazookas,
Long Distance serves on every production job. Getting
orders and giving them. Rushing raw materials here ?

The Bell System is better equipped to handle today's

Long Distance circuits. Today there are nearly 20,800,

INobody wonders what you're driving
when you roll by in this one.
In the 1951 line-up, its brand-new
front-end styling stands out with a
beauty all its own.
Ttou'rc the proud owner of a Buick?
and the whole world knows it.
But you? at the wheel? enjoy a long
list of differences that go far deeper
than looks.
The ride is different? level and true.
"Vm sit the road \\ ith special assurance
? because Buick's torquc-^be drive
keeps rear wheels firmly aligned? soft
coil springs on all four wheels soak up
the bumps and bobbles? honest weight
keeps you on a steady keel.
fw* I* HfNJV J. 1AYIOR, <UC ?*?> Mcno'oy
The power is different? eager and sure.
Buick's high-compression Fireball
engine does wonders with fuel ? and
no matter what you demand in emer
gency, there's horsepower to spare.
Handling is different? this car seems
to steer itself on straightaway or cuVvc
?and swings lightly into parking spots
inches shorter than you'd think you
need. i
Capping kail, there's the silken versa
tility of Dynaflow Drive,* that takes
all the tenseness out of driving ?
responds to your slightest wish with a
surging swoop of power.
No doubt about it, what you get in a
Buick is far more than just a new car
? it's a whole new experience in get
ting plcasurably from here to there.
So why not explore this difference?
Come; take a Buick over and find out
how very much satisfaction smart
money can buy.
