Franklin Phont 2-243S Biff Torque of the Best Setters I WOULD stand to reason that automobiles selling in the same league, so to speak, would be pretty close in their engineering specifications. Like in "torque multiplication" the twisting force a transmission delivers to the drive shaft. (The greater the torque multiplication, the greater the performance). But what do you find? You find that any '56 Buick with advanced new Variable Pitch delivers a higher torque ratio than any standard-production car In America.

And ijau find that this high-torque performance is one reason for Buick's best-seller standing. For Buick is now more strongly positioned in the Top 3 of the nation's biggest-selling automobiles. A1R CONOITIONINO COOL NBW LOW PRICK That's and there's plenty more where that came from. For the '56 Buick is jam-packed with new engineering and styling advances to make it the best Buick yet, by far. That new Dynaflow, for example.

Not only does it bring you the top torque ratio in the nation today. It bringi you the world's only switch-pitch performance in cars plus a new part-throttle getaway response that's swifter, surer, and a to boot. The big new V8 engine you find to every '56 it's 322-cubic-inches big, and packed with the highest horsepowers, the highest compression! and the most advanced in all Buick annals.
