The Buick Valpe-in- Head
Engine-A Power Plant
That Has Proved Itself

The engine, of course, is of the time
tested Buick Valve-in-H Head type.
The year-after-year concentration of
Bucks engineering skill and exper-
fence in building Valve-in- Head
motors assures the highest standard
of performance o6tainable today.
Every other unit is of a quality equal
to the power plant. The whole as
scmbly constitutes perfectly bal
anced chassis which is of typical
Buick construction. The equipment
of Cord Tires is merely evidence Of
the quality which characterizes the
entire car.
Two open and two closed body types
mounted on the Buick 6nfh c>iasst5

Even the most casual inspection of
the details Of design and workman

The recent purchase Of Hclnie Groh,

While one or two clubs IN each

the average big circuit combination

With this idea in mind, the mag

methods to meet the new conditions.
