OIK hat s otl to the men who made the 1953 Buicks what they are —the greatest Buicks in fifty great years. They came up w ith a new kind of VS for the SlTKK and the Koadmasthk — a brilliant \ N Engine with a long list of engineering “firsts.” They redesigned the I'-263 Fireball K for record horsepower and compression in the spirited Hoick Sl’lClAl . 1 hey kept every inch of room in the roomiest s i v - p a s s e n ge r Sedan in America — and still shortened its turn ing radius considerably. I hey did new wonders with the won derful Million Dollar Hide. They stepped up visibility, comfort, han dling ease, control. And man! —what they did with I getaway ! I hey dreamed up, designed and de veloped a new Twin-Turbine 'Dynattovv Drive* that whisks you away quick as a wink — and just as smooth, almost as silent. In Juct, no other ear in the world nets away with all the combined quickness, quiet and smoothness oj a Twin- Turbine Dynajiow Bniek. Wouldn’t you like- to see for yourself just how great these (Jolden Anniversary Kuicks j-eully are.” Drop in .oon — we II be happy to do the honors.
