In spite of the unfavorable
weather last Saturday, July 27, the
Anderson-Rugeley Auto Co.'s show-
rooms were the mecca for a great
many automobilists, prospective
buyers and admirers of new cars,
the occasion being the first show-
ing of the 1930 Buick cars, five of
which were on display at the show
rooms of the Bay City dealership
headquarters. All day long the vis-
itors called. were entertained and
welcomed with a business courtesy
characteristic of the firm and fur-
nished considerable choice litera-
ture explaining the new Buicks.
All told, the 1930 Buicks will be
offered in 14 models, and of these
the Anderson-Rugeley Auto Com-
pany showed five of the most popu-
lar an dmost generally used types.
Mr. R. Lee Anderson, general
manager of the firm, informs the
Tribune that, in the firm’s eleven
years of automobile business and of
the several openings and other
special business features they have
conducted, the interest of the people
last Saturday was the greatest of
anything his firm had ever experi-
enced. The spontaneity of the in-
terest was most gratifying to the
company on this, the first Buick
day.
lar and most generally used types.
R. Lee Anderson, general manager
of the company, said:
In describing these new creations
and showing the visitors the many
attractive and useful features, Mr.
R Lee Anderson, president of the
company, said:
“The 1930 Buick will be offered in
14 models divided in three series
known as the 40, 50 and 80 series.
Series 40 embraces six models:
series 50, two models and series 60
six models.
“Additional power has been built
into the Buick by increasing the
bore one-eighth inch on all models,
producing in the famous over-head
Buick six engine an eight per cent
increase in power. This gives the
models of the 40 series 80% horse-
power witli u piston displacement
of 257 cubic inches. The engine in
the series 40 line has a bore of 3
7-16 inches and a 4 5-8 inch stroke.
"The large rengine used in the 50
and 60 series of ears has a bore of
3 3-4 inches and a 5 inch stroke.
With a piston displacement of 331
cubic inches, this engine develops
99 horsepower.
“All models have an actual speed
in excess of 70 miles per hour.
Larger Wheelbase.
“The wheelbase in the 40 series
has been increased from 116 to 118
inches. On series 50 models, from
121 to 124 inches and on series 50
models from 120 to 132 inches.
“In addition to the longer wheel-
base, all models have been lowered
approximately two inches.
“While retaining Buick individ-
uality of appearance, the lines and
contours of the body have been re-
fined to such an extent that the
1930 Buick is a distinctive creation
The radiator shape has been revised
to give it a long racy appearance.
“Mechanically the 1930 Buick em- !
bodies every fine improvement that
has been developed in the automo-
tive industry. The steering ussem- ’
bly is of the worm and roller type
and is fully adjustable. A steering
wheel road-shock eliminating de-
vice is one of the many outstanding
improvements offered in this new
car.
“Four wheel internal expansion
Servo brakes .semi elliptic rear
springs and double-acting shock
absorbers are additional advances
achieved, together with a sloping
non-glare windshield, re-designed
transmission and clutch. larger
rubber motor mountings and a
sturdier and wider chassis frame.
New Series.
“The series 40 replaces the former
series 20 and is offered in the fol-
lowing models: Five-passenger 2-
door sedan; four passenger sport
roadster; five passenger four door
sedan and a four passenger DeLuxe
coupe. This series takes a 29x5.50
tiro size.
"The series 50 which replaces the
former series 40 is produced in a
five passenger four door sedan and
a four passenger coupe. Series 60
replacing the former series 50 is
presented in a seven passenger four
door sedan; seven passenger four
door limousine sedan; five passen-
ger coupe and a seven passenger
phaeton. The 50 and 60 series are
equipped with 31x6.50 tires.
“The performance abilities of the
1930 Buick its acceleration, hill
climbing power and its road speed
have been proven throughout
months of testing on the General
Motors proving ground.
"The top road speed on all models
in excess of 70 actual miles per
hour is obtained at slower engine
speeds than were possible with
previous models, due to the in-
creased piston displacement.
Buick have been carefully checked
to insure an ample factor of safety.
There is a marked increase in fuel
economy in the series 40 models due
to a better balance between the
engine power and car weight plus
improved carburetion.
"The carburetor system In the
new Buick embodies two major im-
provements—the gasoline pump has
