It Improves With Use
There is a delightful thrill in the smoothness with which
the Willys-Knight motor "picks up" without "choking"—
without the slightest vibration.
There is great satisfaction in being able to throttle
it down to a walking pace on high gear.
But the remarkable superiority of the Knight sleeve-]
valve motor lies in the fact that—
Though all other motors grow noisy and lose power',,
and smoothness —
The Knight sleeve-valve motor grows steadily quieter'
with use and increases steadily in power, smoothness and
all-around performance.
The factory's enormous production made it possible to
price this wonderful car at $1125 for the touring car. and
$1095 for the Roadster.
Ask us to tell you about the Willys-Knight.
