Stop TODAY for LifeGuards at your Goodyear SERVICE STATION Greene Iowa I you're price-conscious these days as you shop for new cars, you've probably made a big discovery. It's important to find out what the price in- eludes--particularly in the normal "spread" between list and delivered prices.

Take these Buick prices given here. All of them, as the panel tells you, cover such universally wanted accessories as radio and antenna, heater and defroster, windshield washers and built-in back-up lights. These are individually itemized on your bill of sale. Not itemized, but still included in your Buick when you get it, are many things that classify as extra-cost items on many other cars. For instance, Foamtex seat cushions are an extra value on Buick SUPERS and ROAD- MASTERS that cost you nothing extra.

You get direction signals, rear wheel shields, a flexible steering wheel, an air cleaner, an oil filter, a clock--all included in the basic list price. On all ROADMASTERS, these prices even cover Dynaflow Drive as standard equipment, not an extra-cost item. Included also, of course, are such Buick extra values as Fireball power, which you get nowhere else--all-coil springing, almost an exclusive--the widest rims in the industry--and that very special and desirable solid Buick feel. So--check the "extras" when you price today's cars. Check the "deal" too, and make sure it's as fair and aboveboard as the Buick' sales policy.

We're pretty sure what your conclusion will be when you see what stepped-up production is doing to deliveries. You'll decide "Buick's the get your order in.
