MANY IMPROVEMENTS
NOTED IN NEW BUICK


In introducing its 16 models for
1928, the Buick Motor Company pre-
sents an array of refinements which
have seldom, if any, been equalled,
except by Buick.
The improved six-cylinder valve-in-
head engine, with the noiseless and
vibrationless flow of power which
made it the talk of the world last
year, the new and captivating bodies
by Fisher, the new Buick vogue in in
terror treatment-these are only
part of the story. The convenience OF
the driver and passenger has dictated
a host of other refinements which
will be found in all Bucks for 1928,
and in Bucks only.
Everything is conveniently placed,
in the new Buick driving compart-
ment. All controls are readily &C
cessible without reaching or leaning.
Lights are centralized on the top OF
the steering post, where a single
switch not only regulates them but
turns them on and off.
At the junction of the steering post
and dash is the new Buick two-way
lock, devised as a protection against
theft. By means of it, the ignition
and the steering wheel may both be
locked, but it is ingeniously designed
to prevent locking of the wheel by
the mere act of shutting off the igni-
ton. The Buick driver may cut off
his engine and coast without losing
steering control, but he cannot lock
the wheel while the engine is rum
ming The new lock is case-hardened
and has the full approval of the
Board of Underwriters, which means
that the car so equipped enjoys the
lowest automobile theft insurance
rates.
On the Buick dash, which is simpli-
fled by transfer of the light controls
to the steering post, the instruments
are grouped in three handsome small
panels, clustered within a larger pan
ell. Ammeter, oil guage, speedomet-
er, gasoline gauge and water thermo-
meter comprise the group. They &C.
cupy space so small that all can be
seen at a single glance.
A small refinement, notable be-
cause it typifies Bucks attention to
details, is the provision for illumin-
ating the two-way lock. A small
switch arm, projecting beneath the
dash within easy reach of the driv-
er, enables him to throw the light
beam upon the instrument panel, in
directly as heretofore, to divert il
to the lock for convenience in lock-
ing or unlocking, or to switch the
light off entirely.
Driving seats in the Five Passen.
ger Two Door Sedan of series lis anG
the roomy Five Passenger Coupe Of
Series 1913 may be moved one incl
forward or backward from the cen
trail position, by means of a simple
adjustment. Still another improve
ment is the adjustable steering post
which may be raised or lowered t,
suit the drivers individual require
ments.
In Difference to the thousands Of
women who drive Bucks, Buick en-.
gineers have originated a steering
wheel which will appeal to the small
hand, as well as to the large. The

HAZARD TO TRAFFIC
in CURB STATIONS
ARRANGE FOR PARKING SPACE,
is ADVICE TO VENDORS
ALONG THE STATE HIGH
WAYS.

The traffic hazard caused by curb
filling stations, chicken shacks and
other refreshments stands on the
trunk highways is being investigated
by the Minnesota Highway depart
ment. The hope of the department
is that curb stations will be gradual
ly eliminated and refreshment stands
pushed back so as not to create con-
gestion which may result in acct
dents.
Granting permits for curb filling
stations is in the hands of city and
village authorities. Curb stations
were a convenience to motorists be-
fore regular filling stations were
built. but since automobiles have be-,
come numerous, curb pumps have be-
come a traffic hazard in many plac-
es, especially on narrow streets. On
wide streets the danger is less, but
accidents happen when motorists
drive and stop on the left side of the
street to get gas.
Many municipalities are refusing
to grant permits for new curb sta
tions and few are taking steps to
eliminate those already existing.
Besides the traffic hazard, it is felt
that it is unfair to permit some to
use the public streets when others
build stations on private land.
Outside of municipalities no filling
stations, refreshment stands or COM
mercial establishments of any kind
are permitted on the right-of-way of
trunk highways, but many have built
right up to the edge of the right-of-
way, and customers park on the road
way. Where traffic is light and the
space between the main travelled por-
ton of the road and the edge of the
right-of way is wide, the danger is
not great. But where the traffic is
heavy and the road shoulders are mar
row, the parking causes congestion
and often results in accidents.
Congrestion often keeps customers
away, and the bulletin suggests that
owners of refreshment and vegetable
stands provide parking space outside
the highway right-of-way. Many of
these stands would increase their
business if they were moved back
and better parking space provided.

new wheel is designed to fill any
hand comfortably, making prolonged
drives possible without fatigue.
Several of the new closed models
embody an ingenious concealed switch
which automatically turns on the
dome light when the rear door is
opened, without in anyway interior
ing with control Of that light from
the usual switch on the side post.
Open models are more luxurious
than ever before, and embody many
marked improvements. All open mod
els have forward-folding windshields,
with heavily nickeled posts, auto
matte cleaners, and fittings.
The hinge at which the posts fold
forward is cunningly bored and ma
chined, so that when the windshield
is erect the post and Kings form an
integral part Of the airline between
windshield cleaner and engine. A
spacious tool compartment, which
may be locked, is fitted into the left
front door of the five passenger De
Luxe Sport Touring Car Of Series
1913.
Buick has depended upon either the
big things nor the little things, ex-
clusively, to count in tbs favor when
the new models went on display. Des-
pite major improvements which carry
Buick far beyond competition, in
/ point of performance and luxury
there are scores of smaller but still
costly refinements, made possible by
the volume which established Buick
value leadership long ago.-Adv.
