OW long since you lifted the hood of a
Il car, and took a good look at what’s
beneath?
We like to have folks do that with a Buick.
You’ll find that broad bonnet isn't put there
for show. It’s: packed with horsepower
high, wide and handsome — more horse-
power than normal drivers will ever use
in full.
And —if you re up to date on modern
features — you'll find that this bonnet is
packed with these too. -___■
Do you know, for example, that every
new engine introduced or previewed in
recent years is built on the valve-in-head
principle?
- Score one for.Buick. No Buick engine has
ever been built in any other way.
Do you know what it takes to make -full
use of high compression? A valve-in-head
engine!
Score two: Buick has been stepping up
compression ratios for years.
But Buick has blazed one trail which
other engines still haven’t followed—don’t -
ask us why.
Every Buick has a Fireball Engine which,
as we ve said before, is like having a string
of comets by the tail.
Fact is, in every flame-packed cylinder
there is a cornet—rolled into a swirling ball
by a special turbo-top piston-touched off
by a flashing spark every 5 inches you
travel in a Buick.
1 hat s w by we’re proud to show folks that
Buicks have a Fireball Engine - and
prouder still to have them take one of these
thrilling performers out on the road.
W ant to try it P Come in and see

us soon.
models are vobjeet te change without note
The secret of Fireball Power is in
the use of dome-and-dip design of
the piston shown above.
Here’s the piston inside the cylinder.
As it moves down, the fuel charge
rushes in—sets up a swirl when it
hits the piston top.
The piston moves up—compresses
the swirling fuel into the comet
shape shown here. “Compression
ratios" are simply a measure of
how much the fuel is compressed.
