Other features include, new type three-spoke steering wheel of metal conatruction covered with hard rubber to guard against possible breakage. Trunk rack is standard equipment on all models while the trunks itself is standard on the 5-passenger coupe and Phacton.

New Chassis Features The Willya-Knight Great Six chassis reveals the most advanced practice in modern automotive engineering. The frame is a double drop type, bottle neck construction. The drop is 14 (inches while the difference in width of the frame at the front and rear axlo amounts to 20 inches. This unusual type of construction gives the body a highly satisfactory support while the narrowness at the front permits a B degree turning angle without interfer jence when turning to the left.

This improved construction of the frame, combined with shock absorbers can all four wheels and longer springs in preater riding comfort, and makes

i possible to maintain a high rate of speed over rough roads with ease.

Another outstanding feature is the new heut control, annually operated from the dash. This assures a quicker warming up of the incoming gases,

Equalisation of cooling for all the. cylinders is obtained by means of a new design of the water system. The water now enters the cylinder block from the rear instead of following the former practice of entering the lock at the front. Temperature tests have shown this to be the most effec tive cooling sytem ever designed for a Willys-Knight sleeve-valve engine.

Smooth Gear Shift

and

The gear shift is smoother quieter and considerably higher second- gear speed is possible together with a faster pick-up. The timing has been changed and is a factor in producing increased power and higher top speed.

The car is instantly responsive to effortless driving by means of an im- proved steering mechanism of the cam and lever type. Other important in provements include the removal of jerank-case legs in favour of a support. ing space between the crank-case and transmission which is mounted on rub. !ber cushion and frame brackets tu
