Description
Buick – Full color 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad that calls attention to their Variable Pitch Dynaflow Transmission. There is a picture of a Green and White Four Door Buick Century driving on a roadway past an airport where several planes are landing or preparing to take-off. The headline taunts that “Now Dynaflow goes airplanes one better (The take-off’s terrific even before you switch the pitch!)”. The text gives an explanation saying that in an airplane the pilot has to make manual changes to the pitch of the propeller blade but with the 1956 Buick with the Dynaflow transmission the pitch is changed for you, you “just for the pedal”. In addition to the transmission the ad talks about the “big, new 322-cubic-inch V8 engines” along with the handling and styling.
