Tftvs bein^a land where it fs every man's right to dream of getting ahead--and the pursuit of happiness is guaranteed by the Constitution-- it happens that a great many people aspire to own a Buick. But too often they start with a lesser car first--from a feeling that Buicks are something you have to build up to gradually, as your takehome pay improve^ So -- if you< have ady such notion -- we'd like to set you straight, right here and now* ' You don't have to fffcpe and dfeam and wait. If you pan afford a new car--the first car you buy can be th# Buick SPECIAL pictured here. Its price tag say* so; Its low cost of operation says so too. We know that it looks like a lot of money. That's what makes it such a buy. ^0 We know that it has a long list of features found in costlier cars, and that it rides and handles like cars that sell for a great deal more. But that simply means that -- at its price -- you're getting a very big money's worth. All of which adds up to one conclusion : the smart thing to do is come in and give this neat and nynble new SPECtAL d thorough goingover. Try out its power--the power of 111 high-compression, valve-in-head Fireball Engine. Try out its ride and handling--and you'll discover it has the "big-car feel" that you'd expect from a Buick. Try it out for size -- for room -- for' comftfrt -- for all the things that you've dreamed someday of having in a car--and you'll thank your stars that you found out iacts of life in time. - Koipmni, mecrt$ori*t,lrtm and modstt art nljrt (aeftaa#t .wtw. -- KOAC\MAMTMt, tptiommt 1 mtrm --t »• Htw.
