Our Detroit Showroom is proud to offer a super rare 1928
Willys-Knight Model 56. Willys-Knight automobiles were produced
between 1914 and 1933 by the Willys-Overland Company of Toledo,
Ohio. Production began with a four-cylinder model which was priced
in the $2,500 price range. The Willys-Knight employed a Knight
sleeve valve engine, generally four- and six-cylinder models. In
1915, Willys moved assembly of the Willys-Knight to Toledo, Ohio,
but continued manufacturing the engines in Elyria. Willys-Knight
enjoyed a production run average of 50,000 cars per year after
1922. Willys also purchased Stearns-Knight of Cleveland, Ohio,
which also used a sleeve valve Knight Engine, making that marque
the crown jewel in his growing automotive empire. Willys-Knight
production ended in November 1932 (model year 1933) when the
company, in receivership, stopped building higher priced cars, and
instead focused on the manufacture of the inexpensive but durable
Willys 77. Willys-Knight automobiles were the pinnacle of American
Luxury cars and carried very hefty price tags for their time. This
Willys-Knight has withstood the test of time and makes for a great
addition to your collection. The nostalgic feel behind the wheel of
this Willys-Knight is an emotion that cannot be replicated. There
aren't many of these gorgeous Willys-Knights around but this one is
ready for its new home. For more information including over 125HD
