What more fitting celebration could be offered than the carrying forward of the time tested design which has caused the public to confer on Buick its highest recognition? This new Buick is vastly more than a new Buick. It is a radically new and individual conception of the modern automobile, with elements of style, beauty, speed, acceleration, comfort and reliability, which are unapproached. A new type of motor car beauty unlike anything heretofore known—longer, larger, more luxurious bodiestrue masterpieces of Fisher design—new adjustable front seats in all closed models, full width rear seats providing plenty of room for three adult passengers-a tremendous increase in power—these are highlight features of the Silver Anniversary Buick. Back of these is a story of detailed improvements and innovations. A new and deeper radiator of novel and distinctive design—new chrome plated headlamps and cowl lamps. Buick's arresting new lines and refreshingly original colours all combine to lend an air of fleetness, force and distinction entirely new to automotive design. In performance the Silver Anniversary Buick outshines all previous Buick achievements. Power, speed and acceleration are greatly increased.In addition-a host of engineering refinements-includ-ing a new high pressure fuel pump, a new carburettor—an improved steering gear—new easy action clutch—and many other features of prime importance. All Buick skill and experience are concentrated in the new creation. It is designed and built to commemorate the twentyfifth anniversary of the founding of the Buick Motor Company.
