TitANT to do what a pilot does when he
W clears for take-off?
Want to feel the pulse-quickening thrill that
comes of giving the gun to a high-powered
automobile with the world’s first airplane-
inspired transmission?
Want to try Buick’sVariable Pitch Dynaflow*
—the spectacular new wonder drive that’s the
talk of car makers and car buyers alike —and
the drive that’s sending Buick sales soaring
to new record-breaking highs ?
Well, sir — be our test-pilot guest at the
wheel of a ’55 Buick and let today's Dynaflow
do the honors.
When you press the pedal as you normally
would, you move ahead in velvety smooth-
ness, getting plenty of miles from each gallon
of gas . ..
Because twenty propeller-like blades inside the
Dynaflow unit, spinning in oil, have an angle
of "pitch” for top economy — like the modem
plane’s propellers when cruising in the air.
But comes the need for emergency accelera-
tion, and - like a pilot does for quick take-off
and climb — you switch the pitch of those
Dynaflow propellers for action, just by press-
ing the pedal all the way down.
Instantly, you get full-power response for split-
second getaway, or for a sudden safety-surge to
get out of a tight spot on the highway.
It’s a response thrilling beyond all previous
experience — because there’s never bees
anything like it before in any car.
And we’d like you to try it — along with the
walloping new V8 power, the cruiser-steady
ride, the fine handling ease, and the true big-
car roominess that are all part and parcel of
every Buick.
Can you come in today—this week, for sure—
and test pilot the hottest Buick yet built?

extra cost on other Series.
