Luxurious In Comfort and Convenience =
Four-Passenger Six-Cylinder Coupe—*1895 ~,
Closed car comfort and driving convenience are most
perfectly satisfied in the luxurious Buick four-passenger
six-cylinder coupe.
From the driver's seat, set forward and at a most rest
ful angle, every control is at the finger’s tip, while on
the instrument board attractive dials record each
function of the car. The large walnut steering wheel
guides the car at its lightest movement through the
improved Buick steering gear, and the long gear shift,
lever can be grasped without bending forward.
With a deep plush upholstered seat for two passengers
and a comfortable folding seat for a third, with broad
windows that raiso and lower to any position, with
floor heater, dome light and other refinements, this
coupe is without a superior among fine closed cars.
