NEW BUCK HAS
MANY FEATURES
Local Dealer. c. E. Haviland, Re-
eeives Word from Factory Con-
cerning 1924 Cara Which
Sets RuE.ors at Rest

introduced to the public today,
the 1924 Buick cars offer renewed
proof of the unreliability of rumor,
according to official announcement
received by C. E. Haviland of the
Winnemucca Garage, local Buick
dealer, from the factory at Flint,
Michigan. For months gossip of
what Buick would do on August l
has been prevalent and often SOL
emnly asserted by the wiseacres as
ION good authority" Yet so little
of it proves true, and so many COM
plete surprises characterize these
cars, that Buick IS to be congratu-
lated on keeping its secret so well.
There is no question that these
Buick cars will be hailed as sub
stantial advance in automotive en-
gineering, but it will be noted at
the same time that the new features
are developments rather than inno-
vations, evolutionary rather than
revolutionary and consistent with
those Buick principles that have en-
dured through twenty years Of
BUICK manufacture.
With fifty per cent more power
claimed for its famous valve-in-head
six-cylinder engine, its successful
external brakes extended to four
wheels in both skies and fours, q
specially designed carburetor that is
heralded as a wonder, and literally
dozens of other developments, major
and minor, Buick proves that it's en-
gineering staff has been very much
ION the job"
The thousands who are certain to
see these cars very soon in the show
rooms of all Buick dealers will first
observe a change in body lines, un-
influenced to a degree by
recent refnements in foreign de-
sign. Thus a more modish appear
ance, even than the 1928 Buick, has
been accomplished by a departure
in radiator and hood contour on
both open and closed bodies. This
applies to both the six and four CYL
inder models, of which there are
fourteen body styles.
Exterior features noted at first
glance are the new head lamps,
nickeled radiator on the skies, water
tight hood hinge, open hood support,
newly designed crown tenders, q
more effective weather-proof wind
shield strip, operating instruments
conforming in design to the head
lamps, flush ventilator, new dust
apron and q heavier and better
looking gasoline tank.
1t will next be noted that a two
to four inch longer wheel base on
the six-cylinder chassis has created
more room in both the front and
rear compartments, thus affording
greater comfort to both driver and
passenger and, coupled with an i'm
proved spring suspension, easier rid
ing qualities also. The finish is ex-
ceptionally fine, even for Buick, and
the appointments unusually COM
plete.
The six-cylinder valve-in-head en-
gine, which has probably brought
more enduring fame to Buick than
any other unit of its construction,
has been SO re-designed that it ac-
tually yields so per cent more
power and a speed of go to 70
miles an hour. It has forced feed
fabrication, removable heads, larger
valves, heavier crank and cam
shafts, greater piston displacement
and a new Marvel carburetor that
includes a simple dash adjustment
for economy, regardless of weather
or kind of gasoline employed.

ternal brakes is feature that, it is
