 Of outstanding interest to show visitors are the Fundamental feat ures of Buick design, many of which have been incorporated In Buick cars for years and are re- sponsible for their fine reputation for dependable and economical per formance. Such items as valve t.. Ia tyA fs, Ia fntN Buick has specialized throughout torque tube drive, sealed chassis, knee -action wheels, center point steering, the sway stabliZer, safety brakes, multibeam headlighting and numerous automatic devices are listed among the important Buick features. These are inter- estingly demonstrated at the ex- tensivc display at the show.
 Refinements and changes in the 1885 Bucks have improved pas senger comfort and convenience and added materially to perform ance. More room has been pro- vided in two sedan models by re- designing the rear of the front seat. Extensive changes have been made in upholstering and interior trim, particularly In the lower priced groups. In the series 40, mechanical changes have been ef- fected to add to performance and improve fuel economy. In all ser les, u new type of rubber engine mounting, that more effectively insulates the engine from the frame, Is 0 new feature.
 Knee Action Featured

Pi- Oneered in this country by Buick, knee action wheels have met with unusual success since their intro- duction. They are here to stay, in the opinion of automotlve engi- neers. In the new Buick cars this type of individual wheel suspen- sion is combined with the torque tube drive, the sway stabilizer, bal apced springing anu weight dis trlbution and low pressure tires, to | produce q gliding ride that is one of the outstanding characteristics of the new cars.
 Automatic devices are abund- | antly used in the 1885 Bucks per | forming the functions for which | they were designed with unfailing mechanical precision. These au- tomatic features include such items as dual controlled automatic start ing. carburetor heat control. au- tomatic idle control, water temper ature regulation, oil temperature regulator on the 50. so and 90 automatic choke, auto- matic spark advances and others.
 Automatic operation Is a result of constant Improvement Of the principle of design - an engine design that Buick uses exclusively. The Buick valve ahead engine, It's designers point out, increases engine efficiency 10 per cent as compared with other types of valve mechanism and per mita . more uniform flow of power and consequently greater smooth ness.
