The Cost of "Your Car is the Cost PER YEAR _ HE real cost of a motor car includes not only the purchase price but also operation and maintenance costs. It takes into consideration the number of years of performance built into the car—and the resultant re-sale value. Great engineering discoveries have revolutionized the whole trend of motor car design. Willys-Overland has led the way with a complete line of cars ne\ vly designed, the latest of which is the new Overland Whippet. m V'd K' The Whippet is only 5 feet 9 inches high, the : height of the average man. It will turn in a 34'■ foot circle—'park in 14 ft. of curk space. Lowest cost PER YEAR The Whippet’s instant popularity makes possible production at a low price. This car also offers remarkable economies in operation and maintenance—3s miles on an Imperial gallon of petrol, 1,000 miles on a gallon of oil. It is designed as a unit, with perfect balance of all parts, to give trouble-free performance for many years. The Overland Whippet has high re-sale value which reduces its cost per year to the purchaser. Whippet's Remarkable Features It is a car of handsome design, beautifully finished in Appenine Blue Lacquer. It is only 5 feet 9 inches high, but has ample ground clearance. It has more leg room than any other light car—low centre of gravity—irreversible steering gear—four-wheel brakes. The*. Whippet vfrill perform consistently at 55 miles per hour—accelerates from 5 to 30 miles in 13 seconds—stops in 51 feet from a speed of 40 miles per hour. And its powerful high-torque, four-cylin-der engine will surprise you on hills and pull through heavy roads in record time. Such modem performance and economies as are offered by the Whippet will not be found in motor cars designecf3 or4years ago* Modern Engineering Means Low Cost * Today the wise motorist thinks of engineer- . ing— not as dull graphs, charts and blue prints—but in terms of performance, comfort, economy and re-sale value. Engineering is a subject very close to your pocketbook. It determines not only the initial cost of your car, but also its cost to you PER YEAR—its cost of operation, its length of life, its re-sale value. When cost is figured on this basis the Overland Whippet is supreme in value. It took 3 years of research in modern engineering to produce the Whippet. No other light car can equal it for years to come. * See this, car. Ride in it. Drive it. Compare its specifications and performance with other cars. Figure initial cost —plus upkeep-—minus sale value, and you will be convinced that the Whippet is the least expensive in the long run.
