This Engine Thrives on Carbon

Those long periods of driving a car- bon-choked engine are unknown to the owner of a Willys-Knight Motor Car. You don't have to give it up for dean- ing carbon or grinding valves.

The Willys-Knight engine gains in power, pickup, flexibility and quietness through making beneficial use of carbon and size for size it excels in these respects in the first place.

It should give you thousands of miles beyond the life of other types of engines.

And the price of this Willys-Knight is easily within your reach because it shares proportionately in the economies of the Willys-Overland Company's enor- mous production.

Call on us today. Let us explain the advantages of the Knight type of gine and arrange for a demonstration of this car.
