An automobile transmission, we grant you, isn't the most soul-stirring subject on earth. Nothing to look at either. But if you'd like for your next new car give you. a better break on performance and gasoljne mileage, something happened last week to be your guide. The Los Angeles to New York Mobil Economy Run proved one thing for sure.

There's quite a difference in the transmission of new cars. Three out of four for Buick The long-time champion in the transmission off with the 1964 economy pennant. No other single make of car won as many events as Buick. Four entries, three winners. The winning Specials carried the new Super Turbine 300 automatic transmission; the LeSabre was equipped with the Super Turbine 400 (both optional at extra cost).

They're the latest in long line of Buick transmissions well known for their smoothness and absence of "shift The Super Turbine is a refined and improved torque converter type to help you safely pass cars and trucks as well as gas stations. You'll hear a lot about it in the next couple of years as this modern kind of transmission is adopted by more and more car builders. What about engines? Of course, an efficient transmission gets more efficient when teamed up with a lean, agile engine. The winning Buick power plants were our new V-6 and V-8. The 300 cubic inch V-8 is the winning Buick Special (the lowest priced of all Buicks) and the Buick LeSabre (the lowest priced big Buick) is like a well-conditioned fighter.

All muscle, no fat. Weighs in at far less than other V-8's of similar punch. It took every other V-8 in the Economy Run. Your type of gas The Run was through cities and towns, across super highways, in traffic, out of traffic. This was not race track driving or proving ground driving.

This was your kind of though you can't expect to get as good mileage as these expert drivers in their finely tuned production cars. The. distance was 3,243 miles, about what most families log in four months. All three Buicks used regular gas. So the Economy Run is not just a cross country tour for the Mobil people and a few car buffs.

It's a reliable test of a car's power team and what it's able to squeeze out of its fuel. We don't expect everybody to rush out this week-end to buy a new Buick just because we won a few economy trophies. There are so many other good reasons for leaning to Buick that economy usually gets second billing. There's styling, naturally. An unusually great ride.

Extraordinary engineering ana workmanship. And very young performance. Small wonder Buick sales are running at 11.5% over last year. But it's nice to get economy as a plus in a Buick. Beyond the dollars saved on gasoline, there's a certain pride in knowing you have a car that's built to get the most out of every tank of gasoline.
