If ycu are in the market and want a new up-to-the-minute car, just
check over the following specifications and see if your
selection has the advantages I'ctcd below!
Silent timing chain drive.
Full pressure feed lubrication to all main
connecting rod and cam shaft bearings.
Long stroke, small bore, high compression
motor.
Silchrcme valves, extra large crank shaft.
Chadwick type connecting rods, no shims.
Tiniken adjustable roller bearings in all
wheels, differential and drive shaft. k
Hotchkiss drive through springs.
Low center of gravity that provides the
maximum of ease, comfort and safety.
Hollow propeller shaft with self oiling uni
vers?l joint, front 'and rear.
Gersize tires.
Four wheel brakes.
Ability to maintain 40 to 0 miles per hcur
road speed without vibration or damage to csr
mtchanism, or a car that will go 40 miles p'-r
hour in second speed, and hold to road at any
speed wivhout strain on driver.
Composition wood and steel bedy (not all
steel if you want to avoid excessive rumble in
a closed car).
Any car that does not measure up to the above specifications is not a 1927 model.
The day of the excessive weight, sluggish car is History. With the wonderful im
provement in roads and the ever increasing congestion of traffic, no one can real
ize the ease and pleasure there is in driving a modern molor car, without a trial.
It cost the Willys-Overland factory over
$1,500,000.00 extra expense in 1925-23, and
years of experimental work to bring cut their
present models. The instant success of these
new cars is forcing other manufacturers to do
the same things. The automobile companies
that are still trying to unload dolled up 1923-24
design cars, are losing every day and ultimately
vill be forced to change or go out of business.
Resale Value Greatest
The resale value of Overland cars, accord
ing to Blue Book specifications, averages high
er and has averaged higher in proportion to first
cost than any competitive line in the same price
class. The tremendous depreciation in used
cars should be a warning to anyone in the mar
ket for a car to thoroughly investigate before
purchasing. The numerous ads in metropolitan
papers listing brand new cars of various makes
at big discounts, show that the people handling
these cars are no longer able to sell that at
regular prices.
Nobody can give you something for noth-
lr si
lt costs money to sell cars, and a creat
aeal mere to maintain an up-to-date service
station with modern marhiiiery, Lccessary ser
vice and parts stock to keep cars in first class
chape with a minimum cost of upkeep and loss
of time while car is being serviced. VTe Urmly
believe That the day is not far away when the
car business will followthe plan of the imple
ment dealers, i. e. no trade ins Rnd no servicing
of cars of other makes. See if your dealer has
the necessary equipment &id mechanics to ser
vice your car as it should be serviced. Remem
ber, you only purchase a car occasionally.
The
Service i3 Important
sales
new car sales are gomz more and
more to a few large companies that have ser
vice stations everywhere. The main thing you
should be interested in, is, how i3 the dealer
equipped to service your car after you have
purchased it? Any one having owned a C2r
that is not being manufactured any more, or
ha3 no local service stations, knows what p.n
inconvenience and extra expense this means.
The fact that we gave our customers the service they were entitled to, assisting
them to operate their cars with economy, in the fifteen years that we have sold
cars, has made satisfied owners and boosters of them, in fact, a larger percentage
of those in this vicinity who purchased Willys-Knight and Overland cars for their
first automobile, have replaced them with later models of the same make than
have done so with any other kind of car, proving Overland popularity. They
also drove their cars more years on the average and had less depreciation on them.
Cars today are built much finer than in the
past and it takes more and better shop equip
ment, also better mechanics to service the
modern car. The average owner has been
more particular to whom he takes his $25
watch fcr repairs than he is with a $500 to
$2,500 automobile.
We invite you to look over our Willys-Knight
and Whippet cars also our shop and equip
ment before purchasing your next car.
With pleasure we will make an appointment
for a demonstration of these modern day
cars at any time. Call us up phone 98
or stop when passing.
