CREATE CONSIDERABLE INTEREST ON STAND 2 AT OLYMPIA. When on© sees the smart and luxurious bodies of the new Buiok cars, tis not hard to, understand why they have made such rapid strides in public favour. 'The graceful stream line bodies are now made at the workshops of the Buick Sales, Ltd.. in Kilmore street. Here the work of body-buildiug is specialised in, and carried out under the same roof at the Buick Garage. •New ideas are constantly being brought forward, with the result the appearance of the modern car with its locally-built body, is far ahead of anything thought of a few years ago. Buick buyers have also the advantage of having bodies built to their own particular designs, and including all those little ideas which they have so long cherished in looking forward to the day when they would own their own cars! . . I On Stand 2. at Olympia, is a Buick, with body built in the Buick workshops, Christchuroh. This body is . built to the purchaser's plans, and includes all the niceties it~is possible to work in with up-to-date and luxurious comfort. The Buick Co. has now secured the New Zealand agency for the famous' Itala cars. The Itala is an exceptionally high-class Italian production built expressly to endure all the hardships and trials of differing conditions of work throughout all countries. By practical test the Itala has proved its great capabilities. These cars will have New Zealand bodies I built to suit purchasers' requirements. Visitors to the motor Show should not miss Stand 2. It shows what skill, and efficiency, applied by local bodies' builders, can accomplish, in the way of artistic coach work, luxury, and refinement!
