Buick Presents Straight Eights
A syncro-mesh transmission and a valve-in-head straight eight engine are
the outstanding features of the 1931 Buick line. The Two-Door Sedan, one of
twenty new models, is shown above.
Exciting the interest of the
motoring world and arousing a wide
spread comment of approval, the new
1931 Buick line powered with straight
eight valve-in-head motors was pre
sented on Saturday, July 26. Offered
in four new series, the 1931 Buick
Eight holds many surprises for show
room visitors.
In addition to its advanced straight
eight valve-in-head power plant, the
new car also has a syncro-mesh trans
mission, new insulated body by
Fisher, and many other important
advances which, according to E. T.
Strong, president of the Buick Motor
Company, make the new eight the
outstanding car of the company's
history.
Many refinements have been in
corporated in the beautiful new
Fisher body, and changes in construc
tion have been emploved to strength
en it structurally and eliminate any
possibility of noise or fumes from the
engine. The driving compartment
in all models has been completely
insulated. No radical changes have
been made in the general appearance
of the new bodies, but a wealth of
fine details and new appointments
have been embodied to increase the
luxurious ridjng comfort of the new
Buick Eight.
Among the engineering advance
ments on the new Buick Eight, in
addition to the syncro-mesh trans
mission, are an engine oil temperature
regulator, dual carburetion, combined
intake silencer and air cleaner, new
crankcase ventilating system, im

proved steering gears, one-piece rear
axle housing, new clutches and four
point rubber insulated engine
mountings.
The new line la ofTered in twenty
models, divided into four different
wheelbase lengths. The six models
in the 8-50 series are carried on a
114-inch wheelbase and powered
with an eight-in-line overhead-valve
motor, which has a bore and stroke of
2% x 4J£ inches. This motor is
rated at 76H horsepower and pro
vides a speed of 75 miles per hour.
In the 8-60 series five models are
offered on a 118-inch wheel base.
The motor used in this series has a
bore and stroke of 3A x 4% inches,
developing 90 horsepower and a speed
of 80 miles per hour.
In the 8-80 and 8-90 series a motor
having a bore and stroke of 3A x 5
inches drives the car at a speed of
80 miles per hour with a 104 rated
horsepower. Two models are pre
sented in the 8-80 series on a 124-inch
wheelbase, and the 8-90 series on a
132-inch wheelbase is composed of
seven models.
The new Buick Eight produces a
new sensation in driving; there Is no
apparent change in smoothness, noise
or vibration from low to high speeds,
and the car can be driven with great
ease, comfort and safety.
Silent operation, due to improve
ments made in the overhead valve
mechanism, the use of the syncro
mesh transmission, and the insula
tion of the body, is one of the out
standing features of the new Buick
Eight.
