Since the introduction Of the
Willys-Knight Great Six with the
five optional color combinations

az the Toledo factory.
Production Of the Willys-KniRht
Great Six and the 40" Willys-Knight
models is being maintained at a
steady pace to meet the demand for
these popular cars, according to
company officials.
In the Willys-Knight Great Six
line the new color combinations give
the buyer wide range Of selection to
satisfy individual tastes. Each CON-
bination presents a harmonious
blending Of rich colors entirely in
keeping with the rich nkeror uphol-
sterng and the quality tone Of the
car throughout.
The $40" lire OF WHY'S Knight
models, which has set a notable per-
Torrance record since its initial in

maintains its superior position in the
six cylinder field, officials say.
The Whippet, with its striking fuel
economy, power, speed and stamina
