Willys Six Hubcap, circa 1931
01
Artifact Overview
Willys-Overland of Toledo, Ohio, simplified its product lineup as the company struggled during the Great Depression. Its low-priced Whippet was discontinued in 1931 and replaced by the Willys Six and the Willys Eight -- with each model named for its engine cylinder count. The Six and Eight, in turn, were replaced by the four-cylinder Willys 77 for 1934.
