it? r ’ ■ — ? 1 ' More Grip on the Road! Buick wheel Brakes Buick four-wheel brakes give all 1924 Buick cars twice the amount of grip on the road, thereby doubling their braking efficiency. It is the friction or grip of the tire on the road surface that brakes *or slows down the car. Buick four-wheel brakes not only provide a greater power to stop in case of emergency but, because of this four-wheel road grip, reduce skidding dangers to a minimum. In turning, Buick four-wheel brake construction automatically releases whichever is the outside or guiding front wheel so it is instantly responsive to the steering mechanism. Buick four-wheel brake construction distributes braking friction over four drums and four wheels. This reduces wear on brake linings and tires, thereby assuring their longer life and greater efficiency, wit h fewer adjustments. • Buick four-wheel brakes [on all models] together with countless other distinctive features of the 1924 cars further establislr Buick as the Standard of Comparison.
