Willys and the engineers of Winys-Overland, Inc. ? Ever "' since the Knight sleere Tilye - engine was introduced, to Ataerlcaas, Willys-Overlami's one great , ambition has been to build at moderate priced slz-eylinder iatoroobile that would establish a new standard in the industry. The immediate ; success of the new ''Seventy" following its initial ap pearance at the New York show In January is eloquent testimony to ifce accomplishment. of this desire py , 1ts creators and manufactur ers. , C " , i . - The WiUyS'Knight Six "70" fs essentially a performing ear. That was the purpose In its design and construction, plus 'the fact! that Willys-OTcrland was able to build a -high quality automobile, com bining comfort and long wear witfc a ,sleve-ralTe engine that would Bell at a moderate- price. . ; JSngineetfng tests on the hew car ! at Cove Mountain, Md., has proTed that the perrormanee of the new' ''SQrenty" is surpassed by no 'other American-built car of corresponding price or type, and these teSta Included . acceleration, economy and hill climbing. In a 2500-mile trip into Canada, two of; tho new "Seventies averaged 18 miles to the gallon of gasoline, while a recent trip through a New Tork f snow storm ot 218 miles, established a gasoline mileage mark of IS miles to the gallon. 'In performance, the new "70" Was thoroughly tested from every taecnanlcfif angle for months pre ceding 'its introduction. Experi enced drivers took these new sleefe-valvo sixes' through gruel ling tests to determine its ability to stand the punishment of en- gineeting tests. Accurate charts were kept of the "76a perform anee. On Core Mountain, & "70" carrying 1057 pounds of. load started at the bottom of this tor tuous grade at a speed of 30 miles an hour and rounded the top, at 26 miles, despite the sharp turns on the climb and the continually stiff ascent. -1 TO determine the speed and hill climbing possibilities of this ; car, a lope driver took off from stand ing start at the. foot of the moun tain and dashed oref the top at 37. miles an hour. ' In acceleration tests alone, the record charts showed that the new "70" accelerates from 0 to 25 miles an hour In 7.6 seconds; to 35 miles an hour in 9.7 seconds,' and ! to S9 miles an hour In 25 seconds. ' Despite the fact that the new sleeve-valve Bix has a small piston displacement, with a bore of only 2 15-16 inches, and a 4 inch stroke, the car develops 53 horsepower and , is capable of 65 miles an hour. .The climax, then, of Willys-Ov-erlaad plans ' in building the new "Seventy" 'comes in the fact that, with a small engine displacement, the -new car develops a steadily increasing power delivery up to its maximum speed. The new car is exceeded In engine' torfcae by' no American-built motor car engine ot today. : The advent of the tew "70" WiUys-Knight six gives the Willys-Overland two sleeve-valve sixes an prerland six and an Overland four, which is considered the greatest market coverage of any present automobile manufac turer. ; : ' , rnhnurf llli II5EEH fmrDvment Tri.

"I am . an' optimist with regard1 to the relief of city congestion. It seems probable that we are now at the peak of this difficulty. All over the country new boulevards and similar developments are be ing pushed forward in cities which have had the same down town streets for 50 years. r I "We are Jusc waking up to the needs bf and possibilities of motor transport, Thero will be more parking garages in down town , centers and better traffic control aa we understand- the problem mofe clearly. 4 "Furthermore there wll be an increasing trend toward suburban lite. This, wiljf mean .increased motor traf tic In - the '.residential tenters and a further .building iip ot commuter traffic for the rail roads. J v , v "A strengthening factor In the motor business Is the rapid growth in foreign demand. Exports amounted to 550,000 vehicles, in 1925, an Increase ot 4t over the year before. Within three years this trade will reach 1,000.000 cars and trucks annually. , "From the earliest, days of the automobile business there have al ways been casual Observers who wondered how so many motor ve hicles could be sold. .To those well informed on the industry and on human nature the answer is simple. People want , t( travel. .They must travel in their business and they want to travel for Tecrea tlon. Motor transport is a major .industry supplying this demand.
