And you get that in a 1956 Buick in plenty from big 322-cubic-inch VS engines that hit new highs in horsepower and compression. But the power under the hood must be carried to the rear driving wheels in the form of twisting force on the drive shaft That's torque-the end-product of your transmission.

And the higher the torque build-up-the greater the "torque multiplication" in starting and accelerating the better the getaway and response. So if you want to feel take-off that leaves vour breath behind you, come try a '56 Buick with Variable Pitch DynafiW. For in this airplane-principled transmission, Buick engineers raised the ceiling on torque to give you the best getaway yet They did with something they call "double regeneration" a new way to make flowing oil add to its own velocity. And when you use the full torque of a Buick beauty like the one pictured above, you're using the highest torque multiplication to be had in any standard-production American automobile today. Come see for yourself what that means in new thrills and new safety.

You'll find brilliant new getaway response in the first inch of pedal travel-plus greater gas mileage to boot. Youll find an electrifying new safety-surge of full-power acceleration when you floor the pedal and switch the pitch. And you'll find this spectacular performance blended into the smoothest-traveling, the sweetest-riding, the highest-powered and the easiest-handling Buicks yet built.
