1940 Buick

  Weep no more, my Lady! HERE'S BIG CAR YOU CAN DRIVE! The theory was that to be truly spacious a car had to be bulky - and wrestling around a great big hulk of an automobile is no fun for any woman. Then along came the Buick LIMITED, stretching close to eighteen feet at the curb, tipping the scales at better than two tons, swinging wide its doors on interiors big enough to hold a tea party in. Now that's a big car - but you'd never know it at the wheel. Your slipper's weight on the treadle is law to its 141 well-mannered horsepower and a toe-touch on its brakes brings instant, unquestioning obedience.

But why listen to us talk about it? Your d...

How do you build in balance?

  1957 Chevrolet HOW DO YOU BUILD IN BALANCE? Fifty-fifty weight distribution is the automobile designer's aim — and his nightmare! It's easy to understand why: Balancing the weight equally between front and rear wheels is fundamental if you want stability and sure-footed control on curves and solid driving traction at the rear. But (and this is the joker) the passenger space has to be ahead of the rear axle if you want a soft rear seat ride and full rear seat hip room. On most cars, that means too much weight on the front wheels. But not in Chevrolets. For example, a Chevrolet "Two-Ten" four-door sedan with Turboglide has from 207 to 240 pounds less dead weight on the front end than comparable cars in the low-price field. That makes a big difference in handling ease and road security. It explains why Chevy's steering is so light and precise, why its traction is better (light rear ends tend to spin and skid under power thrust). It is the basic engineering principl...
