i the sky seems bluer and the sun shines brighter when you and this Buick are enjoying the day together.

Somehow the sudden summer shower seems more of a lark, less of a bother, when it's pattering on the snug shelter this tidy num. ber throws up automatically at your touch on a control,

Somehow autumn air is more winey, swirling winter snows more fun when your choice is a Buick — and a Convertible as tight and all-weather-ready as this one.

Maybe it's because your style sense tells you these sleek lines and this rich treatment are . going to stay the fairest of the automotive fair,

Maybe it's because you find, in the big Fireball straight-eight under your treadle foot, an ever-eager, ever-lively companion-in-adventure that acknowledges no peer for life and lift and velvet-smoothriess.
