One ride and You'll say:
' 'l thf.n we tell you that every 1952
VV Buick rides like a million dollars,
we’re not just slinging slung —we’re
talking real money — right-on-tlie
barrelhead cash.
A million dollars and more were poured
-. int‘0 research and testing - design arid
tools—engineering, production and com
ponents—to team up the combination of
ride f&atures you’ll find on a Buick—and
on no other car in the world.
A million dollars and more was the
price paid to work out control of end
sway and side-roll on curves—to double
check vertical “throw” with shock
absorbers and big soft-acting coil
springs for all four wheels —to V-hracc
the torque-tube keel and X-brace the
frame — to cushion hotly and engine —
and to silk out tlie whole operation with
Dynaflow Drive.1'
You may not care how the job was done,
or what it cost. But we’ll lay you this:
You’re .going to say' “thanks a million”
to liuick engineers once you get this
spirited smoothie under vour hand uiui
haunches.
Old familiar roads take on a new,
smoothness. (Jone are the weave and
wander, the jitter and jounce that you’ve
felt in lesser cars. Y>u ride with road
hugging assurance and level east
All of which only begins to tell you
what really great ears these 1952 Buicks
turned out to be.
Never before have style ana siununa—
comfort and character —power, per
formance and price been brought
together with such satisfying skill
The obvious thing for you to do is come
in and look thorn over. 1 low about tak«
