1957 Buick – For ’57, Big Thrill’s Buick
Buick is beauty in motion – the perfect blending of new looks with new action. The 1957 Buick is the most pleasant driving experience of a lifetime.
Long, low-sweep styling, the new Sweep-Ahead design, is instantly apparent and eye-pleasing from every viewpoint. Along with this, Buick in 1957 brings you a completely new car in action, power, and performance; in riding comfort and smart new interiors; in driving ease and roominess. And it is a car that is completely new in all-around visibility.
In addition, you get more plus benefits in a 1957 Buick than in any other automobile – those benefits such as pride of ownership, extra safety, lasting value, and above all others – that one outstanding factor of “quality” that has given Buick such prestige throughout the years.
Look the display cars over very carefully when you visit your Buick dealer’s and you’ll find evidence all around you of Buick’s meticulous craftsmanship. Check their interiors – you’ll find them fresh, sparkling, and beautiful. Look under the hood and you will see similar quality in Buick’s gleaming, new 364-cubic-inch V-8 engine for 57.
