Page i0 a THE TRIBUNE, WILLIAMS LAKE, B.c. All New Styling, More Power In Buick’s Line This Year A complete new line of Buick cars. featuring all new- styling, more powerful V-8 engines and a revoluticnary new variable pitch Dynafiow transmission, are now on display in dealer showrooms across the country. Models can be seen at the local General Motors dealer Stylewise the new Buicks offer a new front end with a wide-screen grille, new rear fenders that give the trunk compartment a longer, lower silhouetie, new tail lights patterned after those on the experimental Wild- eat II, and smart new interiors im color combinations of nylon, broad- eloth, leather and crodaveen. Many bright new exterior colors Have been developed for 1955 and ‘Will be ayailable in attractive two- tone and three-tone combinations. For the first time Buck is offering a two-tone combination under the sweepspear moulding. The customer will have a choice of one color under- neath the sweepspear, another above and a third color for the top, mark- ing the first time a manufacturer has offered three-tone combinations. Horsepower has been increased to 236 in the Roadmaster, Super and Century series and 188 in the Special. “We have made nearly as many engineering and design changes thi year as we did last,” a General Motors of Canada official disclosed. “Yet we have retained the outstand- ing styling features that made Bui ene of the best selling cars in the Dominion. Our new styling, plus spectacular increase in performance resulting from higher compression eugines and our new variable pitch Dynafiow, makes the 1955 Buick one of the greatest values ever offered the car-buying public.” The panoramic windshield, pion- eered by Buick last year, has been retained for 1955 along with the sloping doorbelt line and full rear wheel cutout on all two-door models. TUBELESS TIRES . New tubeless tires which offer greater protection from blowouts, are standard on all models except those equipped with wire wheels. Power brakes, offered as optinal equipment on all dynaflow-equipped models, have been redesigned for smocther operation. A new air sus- pension principle gives fully ade- quate braking under all conditions. Improved power steering is stand- ard equipment on the Roadmaster and Super, and optional on all other models. Previously power steering “was standard on the Roadmaster only. Buick’s distinctive front end styl- img for 1955 consists of a new, wide- screen grille with honeycomb desing, visored headlights and a new and larger bumper. The hood has-been lowered for greater visibility. The new, long-flowing rear fen- ders, which are tapered slightly to give the illusion of greater length to ‘the trunk compartment, blend into a smart chrome bezel which houses the tail and back-up lights in a single assembly. Newly designed wheel cov- ers, decorated in the’ centre with the word B-U-I-C-K in chrome letters on a red background, lend a further touch of beauty to the overall appear- ance of the new Buick styling. VENTIPORTS RESTYLED Vertiports, the Buick “trade mark”, have been resytled with four ‘on the Roadmaster, Super and Cen- ‘tury Series, which are powered by the 236 horsepower engine, and three ‘on the Special. Previously four venti- ports were reserved for the Road- master only. The improved performance of the 1955 Buicks is attributed to the combination of the new variable pitch Dynafiow transmission and the more powerful V-8 engines with their higher compression ratios.

This is accomplished by the two different settings of the Dyna- flow stator vanes. One angle is for maximum economy while cruising, The other is for performance. For all normal driving variable pitch Dynaflw operates on the same principle at last year’s transmission. When additional performance is de- sired, the driver merely presses the accelerator all the way to the floor. This changes the angle of the blade in the Dynafiow stator, permitting the engine to operate in its peak performance range. The fesponse is an instantaneous surge of power that cuts precious moments off the time it takes to gel around another can on the highway, and reduces the time the driver is exposed to oncoming traffic, | Most popular of the new Buicks in the Century Series is the stylish Riviera, unmatched in its field for advanced design, power and per- formance.

A General Motors Valve Ano NEW FRESHNESS greets your eyes and tells you: Buick’s done it again. You see it in the bold distinction of that gleam- ing Wide-Screen Grille. You see it in the rakish sweep of the rear-end contours. You see it in the whole fore-and-aft newness of fleet-lined grace that marks Buick the beauty thrill of 1955. New horsepower—up to 236 You learn more when you get the power story. Up to new peaks go the horsepowers of every Buick V8 engine—a walloping 188 h.p. in the low-price Speciat—a mighty 236 h.p. in the CENTURY, SUPER and ROADMASTER. And it’s new, more responsive, far abler power you can literally feel as you go. But even bigger Buick news for 1955 is some- thing more than style and power. It’s what the “variable pitch propeller” now had done for Dynaflow Drive.* Up goes performance—and gas mileage too When you find it necessary to push the pedal to the floor board, you do more than call on the greatest high-compression V8 power in Buick history. You do what a pilot does when he heads his plane down a runway. You do in oil what he does in air—you cut down take-off time by using “variable pitch propellers,” In this case, the propeller blades are insidé the Dynaflow unit. But they’re engineered to swivel or change their “pitch” just like plane propellers NOW ON DISPLAY WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT BUICK WILL BUILD THEM Willams Lake Motors with a’swept-back tail light Century, which last year Dynafiow transmission are optional accessories Calvary Tabernacle Sunday * 10:00 Sunday School 11:00 Morning 7:30 Evangelistic Tues. 8:00 Prayer Fri. 8:00.
