WHEN BET Be among the first to see what distinctive appearance and what remarkable performance Buick can build into a six at a price within the reach of millions. The Marquette will stand at the head of its price class as naturally as Buick leads its field. * Fitted with the latest design in closed bodies by Fisher, every line of this attractive new car spells style— but to appreciate the outstanding difference between the Marquette and cars of comparable price, you must judge it by performance. In this new six are the sparkle and snap, the responsiveness, balance, and ease of control of a truly fine car—with the added advantage of Buick-built sturdiness stamina that mean uninterrupted service.
