Buick's
Twentieth and Greatest Year
T is now twenty years since Buick Arst began to manufacture and sell Buick motor cars. Significant of Buick's achievements and position in the industry through- out these two decades are Buick's accomplishments in this, its twen- tieth year of existence,
1923 Buick built During MILLIONTH car.
its
During these same twelve months Buick broke all production records for cars of its class.
་
In August, 1923, after long and intensive research, Buick provided the public with the proved Buick four-wheel brakes-just as more than twenty years ago Buick added to motor car utility and efficiency, by
oducing the valve-in-head engine. And, for the sixth consecutive year, Buick occupies first place at the National Automobile Shows-a posi- tion awarded upon volume business.
Noteworthy as is this record of past. achievement, it assumes added mean- ing as a substantial promise of an even more successful future. For from the rich background of ex perience with all of its unequalled manufacturing facilities-and-in- spired by a deep sense of personal obligation to Buick friends, owners and the general public-Buick will seek ever to maintain on an even higher level its position as the Standard of Comparison.
