result of a factory
output in excess of all original antici
pations.
According to the announcement the
price reduction affects the -Overland
Champion model, which has been re
duced to $655 freftn $695, a cut of $40,
while the Willys-Knight standard se
dan has been reduced $100 to $1695.
All these are Toledo factory prices.
Accompanying the announcement is
a brief statement from John N. Wil
lys, president of Wiilys-Overland, set
ting forth the reasons for this re
markable action:
^January and February production
has exceeded all expectations. Dur
ing the first month of the new year
we manufactured 22,048 cars, more
than double the output of a year
ago. In February we maintained an
average record of more than a thou
sand cars daily, closing the month
with total shipments of 22,136.
“This remarkable increase in de
mand has stepped up production to
a point where our production coats
per car have been lessened. In the
case of the Overland Champion, for
example, we find that we are able to
maintain its position as the lowest-
priced enclosed car on the market,
with doors front and rear, because
of the tremendous demand that has
ensued since the original announce
ment of this model last Fall. We
have stepped up our schedule on this
model and even now are unable to
cope satisfactorily with our dealer's
demands.”
Parallel conditions are accountable
for the cut in price of the Willys-
Knight Sedan.
“During the current winter, de
mand for closed cars outstripped all
anticipation,” continues the state
ment “In no single year of the in*
dustry has the sale of all-weather
models advanced so rapidly as it has
during the past six months. JDur
plants hhve been fairly swampedwith
orders for this type. The result has
been increase in closed car produc
tion, with a proportionate decrease
in production costs, in which we are
desirous of allowing the public to
participate.”
