THE

MODEL

LIMOUSINE SEDAN.

: 0:

50"

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 Bulck'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.
