1955 Series 40

BUICK
SPECIAL

Record-high V8 power - 188 horsepower for 1955 - raises SPECIAL performance well above all others in its price class.

Unprecedented acceleration and passing power with Variable Pitch Dynaflow provide still another thrill unmatched in other makes.

SPECIAL major gains are further increased by such other advances for 1955 as colorful interior combinations, matching carpet with custom trim, new instrument panel trim, and the industry's choicest selection of optional equipment - including Circular Redliner speedometer, improved Buick Power Brakes, Power Steering, Window Lifts and Front Seat Adjustment.

And backing all these added values is the SPECIAL's established superiority in big-car visibility, room, ride and stability.

So it can be readily seen why the 1955 SPECIAL is more salable than ever to car buyers who want the best buy in budget-price brackets - and to car buyers willing to make a small step-up in price to gain the big difference in dollar values between Buick and smaller, less powerful cars.

SPECIAL Model 41, 4-door 6-passenger Sedan
122" wheelbase - 188 horsepower

...The low-cost beauty with new high-powered V8 performance, big-car room, ride and bonus-value features.

The 1955 SPECIAL produces important new proof of its right to rating as the best buy among cars of comparable cost- and as an even better value than the lowest-priced car.

Sleek new styling, front to rear, advances SPECIAL fashion well ahead of competition in this fundamental feature.
