THE SUCCESS OF THE

BUICK COACH

The Buick Coach is a real closed car-built to Buick's high standards of closed car comfort, sturdiness and appointment. The Fisher body shows the graceful·lines of the finest enclosed types. The two wide doors, hinged at the front, enable rear seat passengers to enter or leave either door without disturbing "people in the front seats. Duco finish. Different colors for each

of the two coach models.'

And the price! Never before has it been possible to have a closed car with these quality features at such low cost.
