KNIGHT MOTOR CAR
TO SELL F0R $1,095
John N. Willyi Announcei New
Overland Model with a Forty
Horte Knight Motor.
LOWEST PRICE OF ANY KNIGHT
This la a intaon of urprlses In the
motor car Industry.
f
The new development hava taken the
forrn of multiplying the cylinders of the
old type of motor, of radical prVe reduo
tions. or a combination such as that cov
ered by tha Willys-Knight announce
ment which offera two radical changes
one In motor design, the other In price.
The price of 11.096 la the loweat at which
a car with a Knight type motor ha been
offered to the public.
Tha Important difference of the Knight
type motor from a poppet valve motor
la In the valve arrangement. The Knight
type Is a sleeve-valve motor. The valve
are merely sliding sleevea. There are
two one inside the other, sliding up and
down between the cylinder wall and pis
ton. In each, openings are placed which.
at the proper lime in the action of the
motor, come opposite to each other so
aa to permit the charge of fresh gas
from the carburetor to enter the com
bustion chamber, and, similarly, for the
burnt gases to pass from the cylinder
out Into the muffler.
The remarkably low price la made pos
sible only by the great manufacturing
facilltlea of the Overland plant and the
fact that the car will be produoed In
larger quantities than any. Knight type
motored car waa ever before produced. .
Only for the Rick.
Heretofore Knight type motored cars
have been looked upon as belonging to a
"de luxe" field, all their own. Their
sale has been restricted to the compara
tively few people who could afford to
pay a high pi-io for the advantages and
oomfbrta which this motor affords.
Like most other Improvement that
have been mado In the automobile, the
Knight motor upon Ita introduction waa
obtainable only at a high price. Ita su
perior qualities, however, have caused a
widespread demand among all classea of
motorists and It la to meet this demand
thnt John N. Willy ha brought thia
popular type motor within the reach of
the average pocketbook.
Model 84. as this latest production ot
Mr. Willys' la known, la a large, power
ful, five-passenger touring car. In It are
, embodied all those little oomforts and
conveniences that go to ma up the
quality car of today. In design and finish
It compares favorably with cars selling
for a much larger price. . V .
The forty-horsepower Knight type
motor Is the effloienor equal of those
built by foreign manufacturers for cars
selling at from W.000 to 13.000. The four
cylinders, with a bore of 4H Inches and
stroke of i inches are cast In one block.
Is of Latest Design.
The car announced by the Winya-Over-land
company is of the latest streamline
desifrn. Its symmetrical lines give the
long and low pleasing effect that dis
tinguishes the modern car from that of
a few year ago. The graoeful pulse of
the car Is accentuated by the one-piece
cowl dash, gently sloping hood and full
curved tonnoau back. Front hinged, wide
U-doors, with disappearing hinges add
to the appearance of the body, giving it
a clean and smooth exterior. Frame, run
ning board brackets and battery box are
concealed by mud shield.
The car is finished In royal blue with
Ivory stripliigs. The wheels are gray and
trimmings of nickel and polished alum
inum. The heavy crowned ateel fenders
are black enameled.
Has Loog Wheel Base.
The long wheelbas of 114 Inches has
allowed the designers ample leeway for
creating a large and roomy body. The
seats have high, comfortable backs, while
the heavily upholstered cushions are built
on deep, coiled springs, which give the
maximum of riding comfort.
Particular attention has been given to
Interior refinements. Large pockt In all
doors, a htngd robe rail and a foot rest
are a few of the" conveniences 'that add
to the pleasures ot touring In this car.
The mohair top Is of the one-man type
that can be easily raised or lowered. The
curtains fasten from the inside and are
easily attached. Their snug fit eliminates
the annoyance of flapping. The built-in
windshield Is of the rain vision, ventilat
ing type with universal adjustment.

Announcing the

The World's Lowest Priced
Knight Motored Car
THIS announces ' the greatest
achievement in the history of
the automobile business.
The Knight is the automobile
motor that revolutionized the entire
motor car industry of Europe.
The Daimler of England, the
Panhard of France, the Mercedes of
Germany, the Minerva of Belgium
in fact practically all of the costly
European cars are equipped with
the famous Knight type motor.
And these are the motor cars
that cost from $4,000 to $8,000 each I
Practically every royal and titled
family in Europe owns one or more
Knight motored cars.
The Knight type motor is the
nearest approach to 100 efficiency.
This motor differs from other
motors in that where all others deteri
orate with use, this improves; to all
others carbon is harmful, here it is
beneficial; size for size it has mpre
Power.
It has no noisy poppet valves; no
noisy cams; no uncertain valve
springs; no- troublesome valves to
grind; practically no wearing parts.
The Willys-Knight has the same
advantages and is just as efficient as
those costly European Knight cars.
As we build more cars in a single
week than most European manufac
turers build in a whole year, we are
able to utilize every modern manu
facturing economy.
That is why our price is so much
less.
The Willys-Knight, in our opin
ion, has the least vibration and is the
smoothest, quietest and most eco
nomical car made.
Have your demonstration at once.
Immediate deliveries.
