    The parades may be over, but our appreciation marches on. As an American Legion member, you still have until June 30th to save $400 on a new 1995 Buick LeSabre, Regal or Century during Buick Qualidays. The brass bands may be silent now, but our Buick Qualidays celebration is still in full swing. Which means we're still showing our gratitude to American Legion members by offering you a $400 savings on one of our three top-selling Buicks. And to further show our appreciation, Buick will donate $100 to the American Legion baseball team of your choice when you make your purchase. It's the perfect time to save on Buicks that have always represented solid value. The Regal, America's premier mid-size automobile, features a newly redesigned interior. Twice, the LeSabre has been named Family Circle's "Family Car of the Year," and has been the best-selling full-size family LeSabre car in America (1993, 1994). And the Century's combination of comfort, safety and affordability makes it an outstanding example of Buick Quality. Stop into your Buick dealer before June 30, 1995 and choose from among the Regal largest selection of Buicks in ten years. Finalize your pricing, then present the certificate contained in last month's issue ^ ^ for a $400 savings, or see your dealer for more details. It's our way of expressing our gratitude after the parades are over. Century To locate your nearest Buick dealer, call 1-800-4A-BUICK Buick will donate $100 to the local American Legion baseball team of your choice for each new 1995 Buick LeSabre, Regal or Century purchased.
