MAYeE--among the current crop of new 1955 models -- there's another car with an advance that can hold a candle to this one. But we doubt it. We doubt it because nowhere--among the features of other cars that we've heard about, or seen--is there anything to compare with what's actually happened to Buick. It all started with the fact that modern air liners get two big ad- vantages because they can change the pitch of their propellers. First, they get off the ground hun- dreds of feet sooner than they used to. Second, they can stretch their gaso- line by setting propeller blades at just the right "pitch" f cruising, So Buick engineers dsked them- selves--"If you can do it with air, why can't you do it with oil--the oilinside a Dynaflow Drive?" PHONE. 57 And to make a long story! short-- they could, and th They engineered the propeller-like blades inside the "stator" of a Dyna- flow Drive so they pitch as much as 75 degrees. That provides one miles-per-gallon, an instant surge it's needed. All you have to do is push the acceler- ator pedal the last half-inch beyond the full throttle po- sition--and a-way you go!
