Buick Agency
in Durant |
We take pleasure in announcing that we
have been appointed agents for the Buick |
Automobile for Bryan County and the |
stock of all models is now en- route to US at Il
Durant. One of the beautiful 1921 models |
a touring car, is now on display at our |
furniture store, Third and Evergreen.
The Buick Automobile needs no introduc- |
tion to the public in this territory. They |
have been sold here since automobiles were
first brought to Durant, and have been one
Of the most popular cars manufactured.
Buick adherence to definite principles
of motor design and chassis construction is !
again exemplified in the New Buick Line |
for 1921. Improvements in body design
and mechanical units have been incorpOrat-
ed in the New Buick Cars that place them
far in advance of the usual trend Of devel-
opment. The new improvements were made
after exhaustive tests had proved them
practical.
In the New Buick there is an expression
of distinction and luxury, quality and re-
finement, consistency and power almost
inconceivable. Each 1921 model is powered
with the famous six-cylnder Buick valve
in-head motor. In the new model Twenty
One-FortyFive, the model which is used
in this city more than any other, beauty and
capacity for service are combined. Design
ed to meet the many uses of car of this
type, it lends itself to the needs of the bust.
ness man and his family, to the comforts OF
the traveller or to those who enjoy long
trips. The driving compartment and ton
neau have been more literally spaced, in
suring the driver and passenger the most
comfortable riding position.
You must see this new model to fully ap-
preciate it, and we ask that you inspect the
model now on our floor. We want to show
YOU whether you want to buy an automobile
or not. We believe the Buick Automobile
is the best buy you can find. You know the
Buick company guarantees each Buick part
for twelve months. That means that any
defective part will be replaced.
