I Although the new series has the` Name number of` cars that comprised the 1927 line, two of the new models` carry new types of bodies repre- senting the latest advances in Fish-l er design. The two new body types are the Sport Landau Sedan and Four-Door Sedan. which supersede the former Landau and De Luxe Landau Sedans. The Two-Door Se-I dan, the Coupe, the Sport Cabiolet and the Sport Roadster again are included among the six body choic- `i es, but all have been completely re- . designed and closed `models carry a the latest Fisher body creations,- new Duco colors, new fenders, head- ` lamps and many other refinements. , `Dirk `HA `-uAnnOuv A4` 61:.` \7A..- 5-..}..- wane .. _ _ A -Other McLaughlin-Buick features which of course ex-tend throughout -the 1ine- include the vibrationless six-cylinder valve-in-head engine, with counter-balanced crankshaft, torsion balance:-, air cleaner, oil fil- ter, `gasoline strainer, and vacuum ventilate'd crankcase-; the sealed ohassis whefeby every moving part, i from the-fan to the rear wheels, is protected against intrusion of dust, water and grit: mechanical four- wheel M brakes; Voantiiever springs; torque-tube. drive, `and balanced 7 "wheels . . --nv -4--un vocvuv vs wunA\;u `Hun "Thus the 1928 -advances which have resulted in McLaug'h`lin- Buick ; record-shatteringsales are, without exception, found through- out series 1115. as well as in series 128.` Among them are hydraulic "shock absorbers `front and rear, in conjunction with `re-designed canti- lever springs on each model, ad- justablelsteering column, with light controls centralized at its top, re- designed steering wheel to fit small as well as large hands,- new double lock on steering column. and wider and deeper windshield for greater safety in driving.
