FOR WILLYS | ‘The three-point cantilever eprti suspension principle, which has been revolutionary fn its effect upon the design and construction of lightweight cara, is belng uttite- ed in the new ght Six manufac- tured by the Willys Corporation in its plant at Elizabeth, N. J. This principle, the practicability of which already has been proved has enabled the Willys Corporation to successfully solye the problem of combining in its light stx-cytind@r car, qualities of comfort and economy hitherto unattained in leare of similar type. In two years lof continuous tests, more exacting than the most extreme service deo- mands, an entire fleet of cars built upon this unique spring con- struction, has demonstrated its jadvantages, As a further endorse- | ment of its practicability, the Society of A@fmotive Engineers has of ficlally approved It. To build at low initial cost a #tx- cylinder motof car, light in weigh and embodying quality, econory am greater riding comfort, has been one of the absorbing alma of the automo | bile industry for a number of years, This ambtilon, however, was not reak lized until the three-point cantilever | pring was evolved, and subsequent lly adopted and developed by the | Willys corporation. ‘This new spring adda inches, #0 far as shock absorb ing effects are concerned, to the wheelbase of a car.
