WHY SUCH POPULARITY?
UNLESS you are a Buick owner you probably wonder
why the Buick Eight enjoys such tremendous popularity everywhere.
The answer is simple. Just drive the Eight as Buick builds It.
Notice how quietly and gracefully it glides though flow- moving trafic. How quickly and engerly it responds to the necelerator when you want real spced. How easily and noiselessly the gears shift. How roomy and comfortable
it is.
You can relax and enjoy life in its brautiful and Juxuricua Fisher Body. And as for motoring excellence... Huick's thrilling performance knows no peer.
That's why more than 50 out of every 100 men and women who buy cars in Brick's wide price range choose the Eight as only Buick Builds It.
