The Willys-Knight sleeve- valve engine `is always at its best. Powerful and smooth at the beginning, it increasesin power and smoothness with each succeeding mile. Remark- able freedom from repairs and carbon troubles are but a few of the many advantages enjoyed by more than 325,000 enthusiastic drivers of Willys-` ` Knights. With the new Willys-Knight Standard Six you will enjoy the satisfaction of owning the same t 'pe of engine which powers the carso ro alty and half the peerage of Europe. ou will admire the beautifully `designed bodies and rich colors, and you will be amazed that so many quality features can be offered for so little money. * %%'!?i$ Of that which transcends in im- ortance either Dodge grothers superb plant e mp- ment or Dodge Brot iers splendid dealer organization.
