Climbing Steep Hill on High Gear Also Damages Car. The high-gear hill climber is first cousin to the scorcher, and both are bound to become wiser as time goes on. These statements are made with the full understanding that the modern automobile is made to climb almost | vthing but trees. But to climb a teep hill on the high gear imposes he hardest kind ofy work, not only | n the engine, but also on every other part of the car. The lower gear ratios are provided for hill climbinz and they should be used for it. Air Bubbles Indicate Leak. Air bubbles seen in the radiator so- lution indicate some sort of cylinder head gasket leak. The bubbles are the result of compression leaking out around the head and getting into the cooling system. This air, being un- der pressure, naturally finds its way to the surface of the water in the cadiator.

New York went wild about it! First presented at the National Automobile Show, January 9-16, the “70” Willys-Knight Six was ac- corded a reception that, for sheer enthusiasm and sweeping public in- terest, shattered to pieces all known popularity-records at that or any previous New York Show... In that one week, a total of 102,909 eager men and women thronged the Willys-Overland retail show-rooms, at Broadway and 50th Street, to give it closer examination than was pos- sible at Grand Central Palace, the crowded scene of the National Show. It seemed that all New York, and its hundreds of thousands of Show visitors, took this new “70” Willys-Knight to its heart of hearts as never in all automobile history it had welcomed any new car before! Super-efficiency achieved as never before This new “70” Six applies the prin. ciples of high-speed engine con- struction to the Knight Sleeve- Valve motor with startling results. With a 2¢§-inch bore and 434-inch stroke this new Sleeve -Valve Six en- gine delivers greater power per cubic inch of piston displacement, throughout its complete range, than any stock American motor-car en- gine built today. Speed capacity is well in excess of 60 miles an hour; acceleration is positively startling, and its power on hills is a revelation. “BOAWK” EXCLUSIVE OVERLAND SALES STORE Revolutionary results Inflaeed and power the new “70” Willys-Knight literally out-performs all other stock ears of comparable size.
