Fore and Aft- and Curbside, too It's the style hit of the year! ou can take our word for it when The first time we put eyes on the 1955 Buicks, we really raised a cheer. To top the looks of last year's Buick? the car that moved Buick into the top three of the nation's best sellers? that was something. That gave us two hits in a row, we figured? and it seems we figured right. For with these stunning new 1955 Buicks, we're getting even more noses pressed against our showroom windows than last year ? and more folks coming in to look and study and drive and buy. we tell you this: But bold new styling, of course, is just one reason for the sensational success of these great cars. New power is part of the picture ? robust new V8 power in record might ?236 hp in the Century, Super and Roadmaster ? 188 hp in the low priced Special. New performance, too ? from the dynamic action of Buick's Variable Pitch Dynaflow* that gives you far better gas mileage in all normal driv ing and cruising ? and full-power getaway or safety-surge acceleration, but instantly, and with infinite smoothness. So you can see that just looking isn't enough. \bu have to take that wheel, try that power, feel that Dynaflow take-hold surge, sample that Million Dollar Ride? and check the hard-to-pass-up prices we're quoting. We'll gladly help you do all that. Why not comc in this week? 'Dynaflow Drive it itandard on Road master, optional at extra cost on other Series. MILTON BERIE STARS FOR BUICK - $?? th? Buich-6e>l?
