For the Buick that doesn't yet have everything – How much accessory and optional equipment you have on your Buick is strictly up to you, but here are a few items we think you may find it hard to resist: Buick Sonomatic Radio by Delco – This powerful, all-transistor push-button radio warms up instantly to give you music at the touch of a button. Also available: station-seeking Wonder Bar radio, electric antenna. rear seat speaker. Delco Harrison Air Conditioner – Summertime or anytime you can enjoy a controlled climate. Excellent distribution of cool air to the rear seat. Summer allergy suffers will particularly like the way this husky air conditioner filters and dehumidifies the air. Power Brakes – These will spoil you for manual brakes forever. A touch of even the daintiest toe brings the Buick to a smooth, gliding stop (standard on Electra 225 ). Power Steering - You've never known the feeling of really full command until you've driven a Buick equipped with power steering. Quite literally, you can steer with one finger, but we don't recommend it (standard on Electra 225). Power Windows – These will have you running the windows up and down for the sheer fun of it. Master control for all windows next to driver's seat; individual controls at each window (standard on Electra 225 Riviera sedan and convertible). Power Seat - People come in all sizes, but car seats don't. Hence, Buick power seat-six-way or four-way. You can control forward position, height and tilt with a touch of buttons. Real living!

THE BIG ADVANCE CALLED "ADVANCED THRUST" Where and how a car's engine is mounted has great deal to do with how that car handles, so the engineers tell us. Buick engineers thought that Buick's already superb handling could be improved upon by a change in engine location. And they were right! (They usually are.) It had been the custom to mount the engine aft of the front-wheel suspension. This year, Buick's engine is mounted slightly over the front-wheel suspension. We've called it "Advanced Thrust." The way the Buick engineers explain it, this movement of the engine toward the front is like putting more weight in the head of an arrow. It makes the arrow (and the Buick) travel truer and straighter with far less susceptibility to veer, drift or sway in strong crosswinds-the kind you encounter in most all highway driving. Other important benefits of "Advanced Thrust" design include a dramatic reduction road shock and vibration transmitted to the steering wheel as well as a snappier come-back of the wheel after turns. Front-end traction is better, too. It stands to reason, the more weight on the front wheels, the better they grip. "Advanced Thrust" - only Buick has it!
