Every one ofits nearly 20,000 land miles was with- in the sales ‘and service territory of some Buick dealer, Mad Many Drivers The trip around the world was planned to demonstrate that a uick will stand the driving of all kinds of drivers and-the punishment of all kinds of roads, All. Buick motor cars have their opel parts, ineluding the engine, “seal- ed” to protect them from road dirt and grit. Another thing it was desired to prove, according to Mr. Fleck, was that a Buick can go clear out to the {fringes of the earth and still be | safeguarded by the overseas service facilities of Buick. The only special preparation for | the trip was the installation, of two extra spare tires on the ruuning boards—four spare tires al! ther j—and then the installation of sup- \plementary oil, gasoline and water tanks also on the running boards, These were to carry supplies for the desert miles where filling sta- jons are hundreds of miles apart stead of every few hundred yards. \ Has Right Hand Drive | An interesting fact about the round-the-world Buick is that it is a right hand drive. Nearly all Buicks used over sens have the drive on the “starboard” side be- cause overseas traffic reverses its Position on the road, keeping to the left rather than to the right. The right hand drive was an ad- vantage to the car while it was passing through the hands of its drivers in the eastern hemisphere, but when it returned té America turned out to be a considerable advantage. American drivers are accustomed to the left hand drive with right hand gear shift- ing. Even the best drivers place a considerable strain on gears and clutch when they are forced to shift gears with their left hand and op- erate the clutch pedal in its un- familiar position. One of the most difficult of the trip was the long run com- pletely across the continent of A tralia. Many of the roads on this leg of the trip were almost im- passable—met sheep trails. The globe-circling Buick, however, disembarked one afternoon from the ship which carried it’ from Ceylon to Peru, Australia (on the west Australian coast) and, was ‘on its way early the next morning for Melbourne, nearly 2,500 miles awav on the eagt coast.
