ilver Anniversary Buick Placed on
Display at Local Garage Saturday

Nth many raQlcal changes the
yer Anniversary Buick for 1929
placed on display in Redwood
Is at the establishments of Pugh-
IS Buick Co., local Buick dealers
Saturday.
;adiator, hood, and body lines have
EN- a distinct departure from the
icks of the past few years and
lille the six cylinder valve-in-head
otor is retained both engines have
en- enlarged to give II per cent
lcrease power and a faster "get-
way" Mr.. Pugh said.
Eighteen models on three different
heel bases, the 116", the 121" and
ne 1897, are included in the line for
929. Sixteen of them are of the
losed type, while two of them are
pen models.
The bodies, which are all by Fish
r, have been made roomier by the
Introduction of an entirely new style
yhich has a sort of graceful bullying
fleet at the center beading. Inter-
ors have been greatly improved and
he finest of appointments are to be
ound in all models. The instrument
,anels are entirely new, 9O-mile
eedometer being mounted directly
efore the driver and new hydro
tatic gasoline guage is provided on
he panel.
An electric windshield wiper having
wo sweepers is another one of the
eatures of the new cars. The WHIP
is controlled by a button on the
instrument board and is wired in
cries with the ignition switch insur-
ng against the operation of the WHIP
when the motor is not running.
Direct and indirect lighting of the
Instrument panel is accomplished by
button switch located on the panel.
Mechanically the Silver Annivers-
ry Buick is almost unbelievably i'm
-roved. With the valve-in-head mot
conceded to be the most power
ul type of power plant known, the
wo engines have been made strong
through increasing the bore and
troke, larger crankshaft, larger bear
lgs, pistons, and pins.
The power increase, Buick engi-
= GERS point out, has been obtained
argely through the refinements in
ne engine. There has been an II
err cent increase in the piston dis
,lacement of the larger engine and a
2 per cent increase in the smaller.
he balance of the added power is
ue to changes in the carburetor and
-lanifold system, redesigning of the
amshaft and the provision of new
luffler in which the back pressure
as been reduced to the minimum.
here has also been a marked i'm
rovement in the automatic heat con-
ol unit built into the fuel intake
ystem. This device is responsible
apr the Buick engines quick start in
DID weather. Two high speed jets
ave this year been built into the
,rburetor instead of one as in the
asst.
II The vacuum tank has been relegat-
L 4 to the discard and in it's place is
II fuel pump which is operated by a
@t,ecial cam inside the crank case. The
lew system of fuel supply insures
yainst the lack of gasoline at high
.ites of speed and complete elimina-
'on of dirt from the gas. The larg-
!. motors are rated at 80 horsepower
18th the smaller power developing IA
horsepower.
n All the established Buick features,
hcluding air cleaner, gasoline strain
:, tortion balancer, oil filterer, count
{ L balances and crank case ventila-
br, have all been perpetuated and
improved. The centralized system of
Z IRRIGATION adopted in the 1928 Buick
retained. An improved system
ar oiling the differential gears is in
ugurated in the 1929 models.
An outstanding feature in the new
odies is the adjustable front seat
l all closed models. A small but at
ractive hand knob located directly
Glow the drivers seat accomplishes
ne adjustment forward or backward
,r a distance of three and half in
mes. The seat automatically locks
l any one of the seven positions
thin range of adjustment. To fur
Ter the comfort of the driver, the
.eering post may be raised or low
red to meet the needs of persons OF
ifferent stature.
The new cars appearance is furth-
enhanced by smaller wheels and
,rger section tires which makes the
ar seem lower though its road clear
ice is still unchanged. Large new
lbs, new easy-on radiator cap, and
location of the Buick" trademark,
a new and distinctive monogram on
ie radiator honeycombing instead of
re shell are other changes.
