manual transmission BUICK PARK AVENUE 1993 Owners Manual

In World War 11, Buick built aircraft engines, tanks and
other military hardware. This post-war period brought
great styling and engineering changes which resulted
in
increased sales. The torque converter automatic
transmission, Dynaflow, was introduced in the
1948
Roadmaster. Buick’s famous “portholes” came along in
1949.
I949 Roadmaster
A high=cornpression V-X engine was introduced in 1953.
And Buick’s famous vertical pillar “toothy” grille
(introduced
in 1942)’ became more massive in the
post-war era.
