Artifact Overview
Willys-Overland of Toledo, Ohio, introduced its low-priced Whippet car for 1926. Generally marketed as its own make, the Whippet was slim but quick -- like the breed of dogs for which it was named. The car boasted four-wheel brakes and full-pressure lubrication, and prices started around $525. The Great Depression ended Whippet production in 1931.
