And you get that in. a 1956 Buick in plenty -- from big 322-cubic-inch V8 engines that hit new highs in horsepower and compression. But the power under the hood must be carried to the rear driving wheels in the form of twisting force on the drive shaft. That s torque -- the end-product of your transmission. And the higher the torque build-up--the greater the "torque multiplication" in starting and accelerating-- the better the getaway and response. So if you want to feel tal^e-off that leaves your breath behind you, come try a '56 Buick with Variable Pitch Dynaflow.* For in this airplane-principled transmission, AT A NEW LOW PRICE--4-Seacon Comfort tn your now luick with FKIGIDAIKE CONDITIONING' Buick engineers raised the ceiling on torque to give you the best getaway yet.

And when tjou use the full torque of a Buick beauty like the one pictured above, you're using the highest torque multiplication to be had in any standard-production American automobile today. Come see for yourself what that means in new thrills and new safety. You'll find brilliant new getaway response in the first inch of pedal travel--plus greater, gas mileage to boot. You'll find an electrifying new safety-surge of full-power acceleration when you floor the pedal and switch the pitch. And youU find this spectacular performance blended into the smoothest-traveling, the sweetest-riding, the highest-powered and the easiest-handling Buicks yet built. Drop in on us this week--today, if you can--and judge things firsthand. *Netc Advanced Variable Pitch Dijnaflotv is the only Dynaflow Buick builds today.
