MANY LhURELS
 HELD bY BUICK

Whenever the subject of road races or road records is discussed, the name of Buick invariably is mentioned. This is only natural, owing to the many really remarkable achievements of the Buick car since the original White Streak" model first began to hane up time marks for other makes of motor cars to shoot at.
 The most recent performance of the 1921 Buick coupe in shattering the record between San Francisco and Portland in the dead of winter made with astonishment. The phenom- enally fast time of 29 hours Is min utes over roads which were covered with deep snow and all sorts of mud stamps the latert model of the Buick factory as one of the very best of large family of Buick record-break- CTS Some idea of the speed main- tained and the power required to ne- gotiate the miles and miles of wind ing mountain grades can be gained from the fact that the Southern Pacific company's fastest train, The Shasta,
 was beaten A minutes.
 This isn't the only meritorious run that the Buick has made between the two coast cities. In September of 1913 a Buick roadster first came into prom thence as a car capable of reducing the time between the California metropolis and the oregon city by travelling over the TAI miles of rough and muddy roads which at that time separated San Francisco and Portland in the remarkably fast time Of 4O hours and 50 minutes.
 This record didn't stand very long, as the Buick road kings couldn't sleep without clipping off time from previous marks. In August, 1914, one of the greatest runs ever made by any automobile was forcibly brought to | the attention of the public when a | fully equipped five-passenger stock | Buick touring car made the trip be- | tween San Francisco and Seattle IT | 52 hours 15 minutes, thereby breaking | the former record between San Fran cisco and Portland and hanging uI the new mark of 39 hours 25 minutes
 which stood up to the time that tne Buick coupe in the middle of Januar,
 this year reduced the running time over ten hours.
 | This Seattle record is still unbroker | after all these years, and there were
 no highways, barring few stretches in California, while the roads were far from being smooth, with many de. tours and circuitous stretches whtcl

 l Everybody recalls the merry tim' l that the Cadillac Eight and Buick St1
 had in 1916 in bringing san Francisco
 and Los Angeles closer together iron a time standpoint. In this gruellini
 contest against the clock the valve
 in-head Buick again proved its ster l ling worth by winning the much
 coveted Fernando Nelson perpetua
 trophy, which silver cup still is in tn possession of the Howard Automobil
 company for making the fastest tim over the coast route between Sal Francisco and Los Angeles with ; I fully equipped stock touring car witt four passengers.
 The 464 miles over all sorts of road
 and against adverse weather condi tions, consisting of 8 dense fog and l slippery pavement in the section where the state highway had beer constructed, were reeled off in I hours, AT minutes, 50 seconds. Thi
 time was made with the car having ; windshield, lenders and everythin: pertaining to a stock model.

 car had made the trip from Los An geles to San Francisco via the valle.
