In the lower-price field, this has been happening: Four out of ten Buick Specials— bought by people with a car to trade in—have been bought by folks who formerly drove one of the so-called “low-priced three.” They found they could afford a Buick! In the fine-car field, something even more impressive has happened: Four out of five people who looked at a Roadmaster a another very distinguished automobile decided in favor of RoadmasterJ Tune In HENRY J.
