Patterned for the Particular and distinguished by DYNAFLOW DRIVE IF you're the kind of person who likes to look behind the labels when you buy, then you're the very person for whom this brawny Roadmaster was conceived. We made it big not just for show, but for the very practical benefits in riding quali ties to be obtained from bigness. We gave it our huskiest power plant not simply to get impressive horsepower rat ings, but to provide the brilliant action we think a fine car should have. We mounted each wheel on its own soft, coil spring not merely out of tradition, but because such springing lays the basis for more uniform comfort for back-seat pas senger and driver alike. We made handling light with a woman's touch in mind, provided deep, soft cush ions and smart interior finish in the inter ests of gracious hospitality. A^nd finally we reserved for this, the larg est and finest of all Buicks, the newest and silkiest form of power transmission. Only Buick Roadmaster of all cars on the road has Dynaflow Drive?only this strap ping carriage, patterned for the particular in all details, has the drive in which flowing oil replaces both the usual clutch and the familiar low-second-high gear sequence. From such things has come a swing to Roadmaster which makes prompt action advisable in placing a firm order. Your Buick dealer will accept yours either with or without a car to trade.
