WHEN you first slipped behind the wheel of that Buick of yours, remember how your heart lifted? Remember your happy smile as your toe touched off the hum of Buick Fireball power? And your widening grin when all roads seemed downy as you winged along on BuiCoil springing? That’s what Buicks arc built to do. And they’ll do it long and well when they’re cared for as anything so fine should be. Not just an occasional oil change, mind you. Not a haphazard “Look ’er over, fill the battery, check the air.” But interested, competent, understanding car care that keeps your Buick at its best.
