Head Motor, has existed as an idea for
twenty-five years and been built into
Buick cars for thirteen years.
From 1908 to 1907 the Buick Valve-in-
Head was two cylinder engine. From
1908 to 1914 four cylinders dominated the
field and the Buick Valve-in-Head Four
dominated other types The Buick Valve
in-Head Six was first put on the market
in 1913. FOurs were also cOntinued-but
the Valve-in-Head Six had stirred the
imagination of the car buying public
The demand from the start Outpaced the
production.
This demand has become so over
whelming that now for 1916 the
Milford chronicle., 1915-07-02

arisen an insistent demand for smaller
Buick Sixes
The Six is natural, logical, efficient
form for the Valve-in-Head type.
Never before has the Valve-in-Head idea
had such adequate naturalization.
This year the Buick Factory is arranged
for Skies exclusively. The production
will be large. Demand necessitates a
steady stream of Buick trains leaving the
factory during the season.
And the Power, Economy, Dependability
and Comfort of 1916 Buick Skies justify
this demand more than ever. Study the
specifications and you'll see why.
