1930 Willys Knight Model 66B Plaidside Phaeton

Although expensive tooling and drawings were completed in 1930, only three of these beautiful 66-B Phaetons were produced. The 1929 stock market crash had devastated the auto industry - however, President John Willys, a consummate showman, demanded his company have a strong presence at the 1930 New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles auto shows, and ordered three Phaetons built.

This is the New York show car and the only survivor.

Designed by Amos Northup in 1929, this rare Phaeton is a registered CCCA Full Classic. The novel paint scheme reflects the 1930 factory-built car. From 1903 thru 1933 the Willys Overland Company produced Willys-Knight, Stearns Knights, Whippets, and Overland cars and 400,000 Sleeve Valve Engines. One of the company's final efforts was the WWII Willys Jeep.
