NEW WILLYS SIX

Ideal Car for Women

Drivers

While its speed attainment of over 70 miles an hour makes the new Willys Six outstanding in the Jo priced feld and attracts gen- eral commendation, Its less sen- sational features are seen as hav- ing special appeal for the ever increasing number of women driv- ers who find its arrangement of controls and simplicity of opera- tion among its chief attractions.

With Its trim lines, tasteful up- holstery and rich colours, the Willys Six presents an appearance as for above its class as its per- formance.

This arrangement is regarded as highly desirable when the speed, rapid acceleration and equally rapid deceleration of the new car is considered.

Tests with the new Willys Six have shown that it accelerates from 6 to 50 miles an hour in 21 seconds and can attuin 45 miles an hour in second. Such flashing performance makes the driver master of every situation in heavy traffic or on the highway and, coupled with the security provid- ed by larger internal expanding four-wheel brakes and oversize tyres, explains why the Willys-Six has received such a wide endorse ment from women drivers.

"We have yet to find an effective method to combat this Frankenstein monster," Mr. Harvey wrote. "You have personal knowledge of the con- ditions caused in most of the na- tlons, towns, and cities by the pro- miscuous discarding of old cars."

"As the most prolific producer of automotive equipment in the world, I think your company should bear a large part of the responsibility for the elimination of the abandoned car problem."
