Question I hear quite a noise in my engine, when the car has been running at 25 m. p. h. and the throttle is suddenly closed and also when it is conating. It sounds as if the transmission gears were loose and would rattle themselves, to pieces. What is the probable- cause of this noise?

IS IT
"as good as BUICK"?
Before you are persuaded, by an extra allowance
on your old car, to buy some car you might not choose otherwise, look it over carefully.
You probably will be told that it is as good as Buick", but investigate. See if it is!
Does it have a "sealed chassis"? Has it a torque-tube drive? Has it mechanical 4-wheel brakes? Has it a ten-plate, multiple-disc clutch? Has it a Fisher body? Has it adequate and effi- cient nation-wide service facilities? Has it more than a million enthusiastic owners?
When anyone offers you more for your used car than it will sell for on the used car market, com- pare the new car offered you to Buick.
