THE BUICK MODEL "50"
LIMOUSINE SEDAN.
: 0:
Combining the qualities of a chauffeur-driven car with those of a closed car for family use, the Buick Limousine Sedan is a distinctive addition to the Buick line for 1924. It is another evidence of Buick's policy of furnishing a car for the majority of motoring needs.
The one-piece curved glass that separates the driving compart- ment from the tonneau can be lowered completely out of sight "by simply turning a small handle on the back of the front seat. The car is then converted into a Sedan for the use of the owner or members of the family.

ENGINE WORKS ANTI-THEFT. LOCK.
One of the latest forms of anti-theft devices for motors is the mechanism invented by Louis Reichart of Philadel phia. Controlled by a combination at the dash, the lock is attached to the crankshaft so that, if the car is started while the device is locked. a noise like the old-fashioned watchman's rattle is made. Reichart is shown with the device, while above is a diagram of its arrangement.
