OMEWHERE in this town there's
a certain man who has his mind
made up—"come spring" he's going to
walk down to his Buick dealer and get
himself one of those 1940 honey lambs.

To him we'd just like to say, why the
delay?

Why pass up even one month of sheer
joy behind the husky big Dynaflash
straight-eight power plant that's the talk
of the town for pull—and the marvel of
the nation for smoothness?

Why go without the unduplicated corn-
fort of soft, steel BuiCoil Springs, or
pass up the sure-footed steadiness of a
car keeled like a battleship with a stout
six-foot torque tube?

Why wait to get acquainted with finger-
flick Handishift transmission, the con-
venience of the Flash-Way Direction
Signal, the close-to-five-feet spread of

the Buick Super's Foamtex-cushioned
front seats?

Why go on doing without any of Buick's
more-than-six-dozen new features and
conveniences, while months of glorious
Buick fun slip surely by?

We know tradition says spring is the
time to buy. But that tradition started
before cars acquired the rugged strength
this Buick's got. Now any season's the
right season to start a Buick off and
winter's the time you're most likely to
need good tires, sure brakes and things
like that.

So for your own sake drop that "come
spring" idea and get in on the gaiety now.
You'll want to sign
on the dotted line in-
stanter — when you
hear the low deliv-
ered prices Buick
dealers are quoting.
