FROM Brest to Bastogne and beyond, the story was the same. The speed of the M-18 Hellcat —its ability to go anywhere — the hard, straight striking power of its 76-mm. gun —all this spelled bad news for enemy armor and strong points. Now one secret of the M-18’s lightning-like agility has been adopted as standard for all American track-laying vehicles. For in addition to ample power—a principle long basic in Buick design—the Hellcat is marked by a R"ICK division of GENERAL MOTORS Every Sunday Afternoon— general MOTORS SYMPHONY OF THE AIR—NBC Network NAME y George W.

Illustrated. fll Wherever books are sold The WORLD Publishing Company jm Cleveland and New York City 111 w Here's where the HELLCAT gets hsPoume wholly new kind of torsional springing that does several things—-all good. It smooths the ride, much as BuiCoil springing leveled the easy stride of your prewar Buick. Crews can travel at higher speed and remain ready for combat when they arrive. It provides constant traction. Because all bogey wheels bear down hard, the Hellcat goes anywhere— even crosses fields in pace with wheeled vehicles on nearby roads. * , And it means high speed. Holding tracks ever taut, this springing permits speeds as high as 55 miles an hour—speeds greater than many types of land cargo carriers. Now Ordnance officers, who worked with Buick men to bring the M-18 into being, have standardized on this type of springing for all American tanks and track-laying vehicles. It will be a feature of both new vehicles and improved versions of older ones. It has met the test—proved its worth. And no one is more tickled than Buick to see this Buick good thing incorporated in other good American weapons. ;| NOTDCE i Pursuant to C.
