ready to combat lurking danger, is an officer of the

rounds. Smiling, rosy-cheeked, a mountain of securi
ty clad in blue, he shepherds the little children a
cross the street. He is their friend, their protector,
their laughing pal. on occasion . . . and who of us
would have it any other wayl So let's be considerate

That bold bonnet that stretches
out before your eyes on a 1950
Buick isn't there just for show.
Lift it up, and you'll find that the
space beneath is abundantly occu
pied, by one of the biggest hood
fuls of power you'll find in any
motorcar.
What you're looking at is Buick's
modern version of the high-com
pression valvc-in-head engine,
which gains extra wallop from the
fact that it uses the exclusive Fire
ball combustion principle.
We could list a lot of mechanical
reasons why fuel gives up extra
power in a Fireball engine? how
it's wrapped in a swirlipg, ball
shaped charge? how it burns with
? smooth, clean thrust that
delivers maximum action.
But the best way to find out what
all this means is to touch ofF the
eager horsepower out on the high
way by a gentle nudge of your toe
?and feel your shoulders press
deep in the cushions behind them.
N ow all this sounds thrilling,
you say, but how about the feed
bills for ill these horses? How
about m?les-per-gallon?
The practical answer to that one
is found in thi$ year's experience
with the Super and Special? and
even the Roadmaster.
In all three, the horsepower was
stepped up at the start of the year
?and in all three, happy owners
report tbe best mileage in modern
Buick experience.
This is due to a little-known but
authentic engineering fact? which
is that c tu engine burns less gas
11 ben it doesn't bave to labor. At
any normal driving speed, there
fore, oxtr.i power is extra thrifty.
So We say again? if you're looking
for power? mighty power ? buoy
ant jxjwer- silken power? thrifty
power? better buy Buick.
Your Buick dealer is eager for the
chance to demonstrate how sound
this hint really is.
