When a car goes to the graveyard for auto- mobiles, it goes there for one major reason, one only—Upon examination of gears, trans- mission, dig:mndll, wheels, frame, these usually are found to be in reasonably good condition. It is the engine that sends a car “‘across the river’’. It is the engine that makes or breaks a car—first, last, and all the time! . . . The Willys-Knight engine never wears out —anlike any other motor-mechanism in existence, it does not deteriorate. [f actually improves with use . . . After 50,000 miles, on up to 100,000 and over, it isa smoother and quicter, more powerful and more completely efficient engine than it was on the day you bought it !

Tolede ® After more than 10 years’ use— in the hands of many thousands of owners—no one yet knows the engine-life of the Willys-Knight. And it will be 10 years more, probably longer, before an accurate appraisal of its longevity becomes available! . . . : You have never heard of an owner going into any other salesroom asking for a new body or a new chassis for his old motor. Yet you will meet with this any number of times in salesrooms of the Willys-Knight. .. Used-car experts (than whom there are no keener judges of car-values) consider a Willys-Knight at 50,000 or 60,000 miles a first-class selling proposition. Can the same be said of any other car in, or under, or considerably abeve its price-class, with that distance chalked up against it? . . . An experienced used-car owner will buy a Willys-Knight, registering 75,000 miles and more, with absolute confidence. The R 2% WARDMAN-JUSTICE. 1108 Vermont Ave. NW.
