1928 Whippet Model 96 Navigation
Built by the Willys-Overland Corporation of Toledo, Ohio, the Whippet was aptly named - it was small and swift. Introduced in 1926, it was America's smallest car, with a 100.25-inch wheelbase. Two engines were available, a four and a six. The Whippet was in production from 1927 until early 1931.
The car sold well with over 110,000 units sold in 1927 making Willys-Overland third in United States sales. But with the onset of the Great Depression Willys-Overland focused on a single low-cost car that would become the Willys 77.
What makes this Whippet unique is that it has never been restored and is a true 'barn find,' having been in storage for many years. The current owner got the car running, but, to his credit, has done little else to it.
