DMA KNOW
We have all heard about
YAHOUDI. In case you
haven’t, he is the little guy
that turns on the light in your
ice box when you open the
dnor. He is similiar to GREM
LINS. A gremlin is a little guy
that sits on yuur shoulder and
tails you to do something you
know is wrong, but you fol
low his instructions and do_it.
All this introduction is writ*
ten to let you good people of
Kodiak know that the town is
HAUNTED, or has GREM
LINS and YAHOUDIS stalk
ing our every move. You think
not? Well ask NITA NEL
SON. Monday afternoon she
dwve home and parked her
ear with the front wheels
right at the approach to the
garage. She went into the
bouse through the door at the
side of the garage and had
just entered the kitchen when
the motor started to turn over.
Inti the garage she rushed
and here was the starter work
mg nKe maa ana xne car
creeping into the garage, inch
by inch. Jumping jj.to the
front seat she put on the
emergency break and took the
key out of the car and every
thing became quiet and serene
No sooner had she entered
her kitchen than the motor
started to turn over. She
looked at the keys in her hand
and dashed back into the
garage as the car was ap
proaching the rear wall. Back
into the seat and another tug
at the emergency brake. It
stopped. To make doubly sure
this time Bhe pressed some'
wedges in front of the front
tires.
Up again it started while
she was still in the garage.
Nearing a point of hysteria
she called STAN and in a
quivering voice tried to ex
plain what was going on.
Stan dashed home and chid
ded Door Nita for having hal
lucinations. All through the
dinner period Mr. Plymouth
never whimpered. After the
meal, as his custom, Stan
went into the living room for
a quick ten minutes nap. No
sooner had he dozed off than
YAHOUDI started the car
again. He jumped to his feet,
dashed out to the garage and
—=—
nere was Mr. riymoum strain
ing at its wedges and the
starter turning over like mad.
On lifting up the hood Stan
found two strange heavy
wires on the motor he knew
didn’t belong there. He called
in a mechanic and sure
enough here was the GREM
LIN.
These wires are a contri
vance mechanics use to turn
over the starter without hav
ing to step on or press down
the starter when it is being
worked on. After a tune up
the mechanic had forgotten to
remove the wires and the car
would just automatically start.

Take it nrove a thingt
you don't have to prov
j jet's be sensible about this subject of
| j horsepower.
j An all-American tackle doesn't* go around
tackling people in everyday life.
A world-record sprinter doesn’t have to
demonstrate his prowess on city side
• walks.
The better you are, the less you have to
j prove it
.And that’s how it is with a Buick
I Century.
Of course it’s a spectacular performer—
a car with instantly responsive action.
It has to be, for this one combines a
1
high*compression 200-horsepower V8
engine w'ith a nimble weight of only 3866
pounds as it comes oft the assembly line.
That’s a power-to-weight ratio that chalks
up a new' record—a ratio that no other
Buick has ever reached before.
It can spin your wheels on a dry pavement
if you give it the gun, but why waste
rubber?
If some show-oft wants to get the jump on
you at a traffic light, why not let him have
fun? He isn’t kidding anyone but himself,
when the name on your car is CENTURY.
The real pride of owning such a car is
simply this: You know so well what it can i
do that you never have to prove it.
That lets you enjoy the tireless, ease of
its gait in ordinary driving, when only » )t
fraction of its eager power is workings It
gives you a quick reserve for breasting a |
hill—and the happy knowledge that there*8
still more to come in a sudden, emergency.
Sure, this is more power than most people
really have to have. But you can hardly
call it extravagant, when you are buying
more horsepower per dollar in a CEWTURY
than you get in any other car in America.
