41' Buicks RestyIed
 For Fine Car Sales
Latest MOdernIy Patterned and Designed Specifically
 for All Traffic Requirements

with the introduction of its l941 models, Buick division of General Motors announces a new line of Series 60 Limited cars completely re-designed and restyled for the fine ear market. The new line includes four production models in the upper medium priced brackets, and full complement of custom built cars.
 The Limited Series Buick lists, ac- curding to the announcement, six and eight passenger sedans, formal sedan and Limousine in the produc- ton cars, a Brougham, Town car, Landau and Convertible Phaeton in tho custom built group.
 Departure from convention design and engineering distinguish the new models. Breaking with the prece- dent of conservative styling and performance that has been asso- ciated in the past with cars of this type, the new Bucks, according to their designers, are modernly pat termed, and have the highest horse power available in any standard passenger car, with performance qualities paralleling those of cars of much lighter weight.
 AS a result, the Buick Limiteds have acceleration and maneuver- ability designed specifically for to- days traffic requirements and have appearance characteristics that dis tiIdgtliSh them as one of the most modern motor cars in the world.
 The new Series is built on 139- inch wheelbase chassis and is pow cred by Bucks valve-in-head, straight eight engine developing 165 horsepower at 3800 rpm. Bore and stroke is 3 7-16 by 4 5-16 inches giv- ing displacement of 32O cubic inches.
 Of "dreball" design in which com- bustion chamber contours and dome shaped pistons compress the fuel charge in the shape of 8 fiattened bah directly around the spark plug, the new engines also have con1- pound carburetion involving the use of two dual downdraft carburetorS per engine.
 Breathing Capacity
 The combination of these features permits high compression pressures within the cylinders, maximum s'breathing capacity" of the engines and resulting increased horsepower with greater economy. Due to the "fireball" design it has been pos Sible to obtain the higher compress sions without detonation or ping, according to the engineers, with re- sulting efficient combustion extract- ing maximum power from the fuel.
 Claimed for the big 165 horse power engine is gasoline mileage at speeds of 50 miles an hour that formerly was obtained from Bucks 107 horsepower engine.
 Compound carburetion provides proper metering of fuel to the en- zines in the exact amount required, whatever the speed or acceleration needs, and causes more economical uSO of gasoline. Performance char acteristics of the Series 90 Limited cars are stepped up through the speed range.
 Tn the luxurious new bodies, the designers have provided the maxi mum in roolny comfort and ex- quisite appointment. Nineteen feet from bumper to bumper, the bodies are correspondingly large with soft Marshall spring, sponge rubber seat cushions and ample head room and leg room. Width of the front seat cushions is five feet while the over- all width of the car at its widest point is more than six feet. From the dash to the rear of the luggage compartment the body measures nearly B feet. There is an average of 36 inches of headroom in both front and back seats, while leg room in the front compartment is over 42 inches and that in the rear com partment is over 50 inches, with the adjustable front seat placed in the rear position.
 Within these spacious dimensions the designers have built interior ap- pointments that carry out in inn maculate detail the quality that characterizes the whole car.
