That is to say, they don’t yet own a McLaughlin-Buick. We want to point out a few facts about the Buick Special pictured here—show how it opens the door*on a golden opportunity. Step into this sleek sweetheart. Your treadle foot touches off a trigger-quick Dynaflash straight-eight engine that’s just about the smoothest thing that runs, thanks to micro- poised-balancing after assembly. Swing through the gear changes and you find the same easy, finger-flick shifting as in the most costly Buick. And the same recoil­ mounted Knee-Action soaking up bumps before they reach your hand on the steering wheel. Take a rough road in stride. You’ll find that stout BuiCoil Springs muffle out the bumps—and they never need lubrication. Look out through the easy-vision Safety Glass in every window. Check up on the equipment: Two-Way Direction Signal with automatic cut-off, built-in automatic choke, high-capacity water pump—they’re all there. And, when you count in the included equip­ ment, the Special costs little more than some sixes with lower advertised prices.
