They Torcfued it up for the
1-mrst tiiinc you need in a ear, of course, is
power lo spark performance.
And you get that in a 1956 Buiek in plenty ?
from big 322-cubic-inth V8 engines that hit
new highs in horsepower and compression.
But the power under the hood must he carried
to the rear driving wheels in the form of twist
ill g force on the drive shaft.
That's torque ? the end-product of your
transmission.
And the higher the torque build-up? the greater
the "torque multiplication" in starting and accel
erating ? the better the getaway and response.
So if you want to feel take-off that leaves your
breath behind you, come try a '56 Buick with
Variable Fitch Dynaflow.*
For in this airplane-principled transmission,
Buick engineers raised the ceiling on torque to
give you the best getaway yet.
They did it with something they call "double
regeneration"? a new way to make flowing oil
add to its own velocity.
And when you use the full torque of a Buick
beauty like the one pictured above, you're using
the highest torque multiplication to be had in
any standard-production American automobile
today.
Come see for yourself what that means in new
thrills and new safety.
You'll find brilliant new getaway response in
the first inch of pedal travel? plus greater gas
mileage to boot.
You'll find an electrifying new safety-surge of
JO ' O
full-power acceleration when you floor the
pedal and switch the pitch.
And you'll find this spectacular performance
blended into the smoothest-traveling, the
sweetest-riding, the highest -powered and the
easiest-handling Buicks yet built. Drop in on us
this week? today, if you can? and judge things
firsthand.
*Sew Advanced Variable Pitch Dijnaflou ? is tl it only
Dynaflow Buick builds today. It is standard on
Ruadmaster, Super cid Century? optional at modest
extra cost on the Special.

Spring is just around the cor
ner ? believe it or not. Before you
know it, there will be a fresh new
world. And, you'll want the clothes
to go with the bright new set
tings. Now is a good time to start
your wardrobe planning. In order
to begin planning we may want to
keep in mind the following new
trends in color, silhouettes, and
fabrics:
SILHOUETTES ? The password
i is slimness. Dresses, suits, coats
all accomplish the newly narrow
ed outline. Accompanying it ? the
wandering waistline ? gently low
ered In the easy overblouse and
tunic ? rising higher for the mar
velous moulded Empire ? practi
cally undefined In the unwalsted
sheaths. Co-existing successfully
with this look ? the feminine pro
file ? a softer ? fuller silhouette
: that adapts easily to new longer
I lines.
Ensemble is a many-splendored
| word ? and we feel it's just about
the most significant one in our
spring fashion story. It describes
the dress with a coat or jacket of
its own, the new look of the tra
ditional spring suit, the creative
handling of fabric as an accent j
to repeat in lining or a blouse.
You'll find beautiful confirmation |
of important news from the Par :
East in caftan coats, tunics, sari- 1
influenced border prints, and I
paisley-printed silks.
FABRICS ? Are wonder full. Cot
tons ? of new weaves, new sur
faces, new finishes ? resemble
fine silks, woolens, linen. Miracul
ous synthetics blend with natural
fibers to give them touch-appeal
and endless wearability. Prints
bubble with oriental motifs ? sol
ids often pick up color in a print.
You'll combine them for the sea
son's important costume look.
Linens will have their biggest
year ? polka dots are important
on cottons and linens as well as
silks. Raw silk, as tussah, is the |
featured fabric look and, is turn,
influences the look of other fibers
and fabrics. Stripes ? all impor
tant along or coordinated with ;
other patterns or fabrics. Checks
and plaids come into their own !
New sheers are pretty and cool j
looking and abundant. Casual
coatings in nubby hopsacking or i
basket-weave textures. Discreet,
spongy, curled, or brushed sur- 1
faces in flattering tones compli
ment the dashing, candy-box col
ors of the new cars. Fashion is
turning to the new lightened '
wools. Flannels, floating gossamer
wool Crepes, impeccable knit>
frothy tweeds, tropic -wool worst
eds.
COLOR ? Is everywhere ? fresh
ening. accenting, dominating your
clothes, your accessories. New col
or ideal ? two tones are better
than one. The range to, choose
from ? greater than ever Add to
your basics ? - " navy, gray, black
and white' orient-inspired hues
melon, mandarin red. sold, yel
low. turquoise and medium blue,
jade green, biege. Biege gets a
new lift in pale pa'e tones, in
straw tones, sand bii gr, spiin :
wheat, bamboo. Use them freely
? imaginatively ,
