New Horsepower— new Brake Power—and new Power Steering
blossom on Buick’s ROADMASTER for 1952
AYBE you’ve heard —horsepower has hit
IVX anew high on the Roadmastbr.
Brake power has done the same.
But today, we’d like to concentrate on the
third member of the power trio Buick’s
own version of Power Steering, available on
ROADMASTBRS at a moderate extra cost.
What is this Power Steering like? It’s some
thing like a helping hand, something like a
“hydraulic slave”—that relieves you of all
Steering strain, but lets you keep command.
;wi..t we mean is this:
Power Steering is handled by a special
hydraulic unit —and engineers can design this
unit to take over any amount of steering effort
—even to a point where the wheel seems to
float in your hand.
But in that case, you’d surrender all control to

that hydraulic unit—get no steering “feel”
from the wheel.
Now suppose you’re telling two agile tons of
automobile what to do in traffic. We think
you’d like to have it know that you’re in
command.
And —out on the straightaway—we believe
that a part of the joy you get from owning a
Buick is the sensation of having something
alive and eagerly willing beneath your hands.
So we’re glad to announce that Buick engineers
didn’t spoil this thrill. They’ve kept the fun
of driving, and simply eased the effort.

When you’re rolling along smooth and straight,
it takes almost no effort to keep any Buick
on course. It almost steers itself, as every
Buick owner knows.

extra work.
And—in case you wonder what happens if
Power Steering gets out of kilter, the answer is
