"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. BUICK MOTOR COMPANY, FLINT, MICHIGAN
