CUT TO
BETTER sales
Willys-O Overland Com.
a New Car Low
est Ever

With the new Willys-Knizht stand
ard six reaching the lowest price IN
Willys-Enight history through the
recent reduction in all models. a new
and impressively larger market has
been created for these exclusive cars,
according to A. H. Fernandez.
The price cut has placed these
Willys-kniKht standard six models
within the range Of thousands Of ad-
ditional buyers who, in the past were
unable to purchase in the price class
in which this type Of car formerly
Sold" said Mr.. Fernandez.
at Is a known fact in the auto
mobile industry that because of the
finer grade Of materials used and
the high type of workmanship re-
quired. il costs considerably more to
build a knight sleeve-valve engine
than any other type Of power plant.
However, through years Of msnufac-
ture various economies have been ef-
fected by Willys-Overland, and these
combined with the company's rec
ord breaking business the first three
months Of the present year have
made possible the new low nrices Of
the standard six.
This sweeping reduction in prices
is in keeping with the company's
policy tn give the maximum value
to purchasers in every price range.
A further illustration Of this is seer
in Willys-0verland's recent an
nouncement Of a new Whippet six
with a seven bearing crankshaft at
the lowest price in the six cylinder
field"
The Willys-Knight standard six
was introduced earlier in the year
at a price well over $1,000. Then
followed the three mos. successful
months in the ~company's history,
which is said t. have justified the
price slash on the standard six,
bringing a knight engined car with
in the price range Of thousands Of
additional buyers.

A photograph Of q LaSalle roadster
travelling at the rate of 104 miles
per hour at the General Motors prov
ing ground, Milford. Mich. June 20,
1927, has been awarded first place
as the most outstanding press photo
graph Of the preceding year BY the
1925 convention of the Photograph
ers association of America during its
recent meetings at Louisville, Ky.
The winning exposure was made by
William r. Miners. Of the General
Motors Photographic department,
Detroit, and the award was given
TO the department.
The award is accompanied BY pre-
sentation Of a bronze plaque, which
is m Of four trophies presented for

The occasion Of taking the photo
graph was the 951s7 mile demon
stration run Of a LaSalle roadster
in . hours. 80 minutes. 39.4 seconds
on the General Motors proving

speed of the car throughout the run
was 95.3 miles per hour. and accord

the car was still 20 feet behind the

The time Of the exposure az was

was determined by careful c~alcula-
tions. II was found that a decrease
Of one-tenth Of this infinitesimal
flash of time would have destroyed
the appearance of motion and that
an increase Of equal duration would
have blurred the speeding object.
With the selected time Of exposure,
the familiar crest and lines Of the
LaSalle were clearly recognizable.
