Running the gamut from modifications in engine design which provide greater and more effortless power to chanzes in exterior line which increase the streamline appearance of the cars the 1928 improvements more se- curely substantiate the McLaugh- lin-Buick claim to leadership. » The first thing that strikes the eye of the observer is the new cars in the latest adaption of the fami- liar McLaughlin-Buick radiator de- sign, which gives the front of the car a lower and more massive ap- pearance, An apparent increasn of length and greater rakishness have heen secured by lessening the over- all height of the cars by from two to three inches, Only through an interesting en- gineering development, piloneaed hy MecLaughlin-Buick {oEineers, has it been possible to achieve this end without sacrificing headroom, wheel size and road clearance. A new double-drop frame has heen designed which gains not only style and safety hut added rigidity. With the same headroom, the body is longer, wider, and roomier. The wheel size and road clearance re- main the same. Chief of the engine improvements, which results in a substantial in- crease of power as well as new sil- ence of operation, is a new Me- Laughlin-Buick cylinder head. oi the spherical type. This gives high- er compression with Jess d«tona- tion, causing a greater portivn of the fuel to be transformed into useful power. To reduce valve noise to a minimum an entirely new valve mechanism has been devclop- ed for the mew McLaughlin-Buick. The camshaft has been redesigned to insure quiet, and the push rods increased in diameter and short- ened. Greater radiator capacity makes, for even cooler running than heretofore. Starting, lighting, ig- nition. and lubrication systems have all been improved, - Standard S. A. E. gear shift has been adopted. Most radical of all changes de- signed to increase riding comfort is the addition of four hydraulic shock absorbers as standard equip- ment on all new McLaughlin-Buicks. It is an interesting commentary on the advanced engineering princi- ples incorporated in the cars that instead of affixing the shock abSor- bers without reference to co-ordina- tion, MecLaughlin-Buick engineers redesigned the springs for all mo- dels, balancing each scientifically with the shock absorbers. The re- suit is said to be a uniformly easy- riding line of motor cars. Ranking next to the spring and absorber unit in importance to the new McLaughiim-Buick's comfort is the deep cushion upholstery. This is shaped scientifically to fit the lines of the body, In many of the new models side walls and head linings are in contrasting colors, selected in keeping with the best practice in interior decoration and setting. a new vogue In motor cars. Rich mohair plush upholstery, car- pet-covered foot rests, heavy mixed- Harmoniously with heavy texture rugs In all models, special harmonizing hardware and similar refinements indicate the efforts of the manufacturer to provide restful ease as is found in the fin- est drawing room, combined colors, emphasizing the stylish low contuor of the cars and resplendent nickel bumpers, lamps and the exterior of the McLaughlin. Buick for = 1928. Greens, blues, tans, gray, browm and maroon, all used in combination with black and set of tastefully with hrightly- striped moulding make up the Me- Laughlin-Buick color list. A new development is the handsome wash able top material of light color, ap- plied to several of the de luxe models, such huco on radiatar, trim--this is McLAUGHLIN ~ BUICK ~~ for 1928 HE dream of every automobile manufacturer--to build a body low swung for beauty and for road- sbility, without loss of head-room or road-clearance--has become real- ity in McLaughlin-Buick for 1928, McLaughlin-Buick engineers achieved this lower effect, not b themakeshiftof smaller wheelswit their increased tire wear, but by a complete re-designing of bodies, and by an entirely new and ex- clusive principle, the double-drop frame. The tallest McLaughlin- Buick now stands but 70 inches -high, yet McLaughlin bodies are roomier than ever before. } The Low-Swung Body with no loss of headroom or road clearance t As you lounge in McLaughlin Buick's comfort-tailored seats, you sit deep inside the car, with plenty of room above your head, and plenty of leg-room and shoulder-room as well, Moreover, you experience this com- fort over any roads, at any speed, For McLaughlin - Buick's lowered centre of gravity increases Mc. Laughlin-Buick's wonderful riding ease--and Hydraulic Shock Ab- sorbers, front and rear, give it even greater smoothness, And the low-swung body plays its part in the enthralling beauty of McLaughlin-Buick's Fisher bodies, for it adds an expression of fleetness to their fashionable grace. See the low-swung body as Mc- Laughlin-Buick builds it, and you will see at once why McLaughlin.
