A valve-in-1 engine! . >*• Score two: Buick has been stepping u$>. compression ratios for years. ^ But Buick has blazed one trait which other engines still haven't followed--don't ask us why. Every Buick has a Fireball Engine which, as we've said before, is like having a string of comets by the tail. Fact is, in every flame-packed cylinder there is a comet--rolled into a swirling ball by a special turbo-top piston--touched off by a flashing spark every 5 inches you travel in a Buick. That's why we're proud to show folks that Buicks have a Fireball Engine --and prouder still to have them take one of these thrilling performers out on the road. Want to try it?
