Expert engineering, the best of material and skilled labor have produced in this Buick model a n»edram-weight ear at a medium . price——a car of the pleasing mtanlise body type well and comfortably upholstered. While this car is moderate in its price, it is really a big car and is very similar in appearance to the other Buick models. It has a style and finish that immediately puts it in a class with the automobiles one is proud to own. It is nicely equipped and fitted with a waterproof top and storm curtains that are carried overhead when not in use. It has all the advantages of the larger cars and will give more > continuous miles of efficient service than many that are higher in price. . . . Its thirty-five horsepower Buick valve-te-head motor and light weight gives it much more power than ordinarily needed and assures economy in operation. _ ■ This valve-in—head model has become a favorite because it is a Buick from every standpoint and all that the nrao imfeg plies.
