mm 35 llliP ■1 m 1938 six-seater sedan sets new Willys economy record See for yourself that Willys does 10 to 16 more miles a gallon than any other current American car. Test out the comfort of Willys seating for six. Compare the luxury of Willys bodywork with cars costing twice as much. 4 OFFICIALLY observed and checked throughout by the Canadian Automobile Association, a stock standard 6-seater 1938 Willys sedan recorded 46 39 miles a gallon. The run consisted of 597 miles over streets and roads. All stop lights and municipal laws had to be observed. Snow, rain, and wind hindered the test, yet the Canadian Automobile Association’s official certificate to hand reads:—Petrol consumed on the 597 miles’ run, 12.86 imperial gallons. Oil, one half pint. Average distance travelled per imperial gallon. 46.39 miles. Ton mileage, 65.22 miles. TOURING their day-in, day-out driving with no special attempts at economy figures, New Zealand Willys owners report up to 35 miles a gallon. From those whose Willys are some years old come experiences of up to 130,000 miles without an engine overhaul, 45,000 miles between valve grinds, over 40,000 miles to a set of brake linings, while tyres averaged over 30,000 miles. Willys holds the world’s low factory claim record —less than three shillings and twopence for every Willys vehicle sold. vanced to serious rivalry with cars in the £SOO class. Willys has more head room, 38in from seat to roof—more luggage room, a 17 cu. ft. trunk and 2 roomy dashboard lockers—more elbow room. 51in in width both front and rear, Allsteel top. sides, and floor; safety glass, fore and aft no-draught ventilation, heat indicator. Come for a ride in a 1938 Willys first—use the experience as a base for comparison with other low-cost 6-seaters. You will find them all much alike in room and appointments with Willys costing very much less to run.
