Model 84 B Roadster 81540 /. o. b. ToronlQi_ Sleeve Valve Motor 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 5yith 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 $1575 for the touring car, arid $1540 for the Roadster. Ask us to tell you about the Willys-Knight. A. W.
