The gear ratio used in these runs was 4.6 to These records continue the long string of remarkuhlf performance achievements of the Willys Siv, which include winning first and second pluccs in the ininual mountain from Mexico City to 1'nehl-a. Pitied against a field comprised mostly of ciglil-cylindcr cars, llic winning Willys Six covered the course of 75.8 miles in 75 minutes. The record for the steep Mount Baldy climb is also held by a stock Willys Six, which clipped seconds off the former record. In the last Pike's Peak race two stock Willys Six Roadsters won first and second places. The winning time of 24 minutes, seconds is the fastest on record for a stock car under $1000.

These records are convincing evidence that the Willys Six is the fastest, liveliest and most powerful of all low-priced cars. Courier Newt Want Ads Par. MORGAN MOTOR CO. Blytheville, Ark. Utt.Mtfy.
