The Willys-Overland Company of Toledo, Ohio produced the Willys-Knight line of automobiles from 1914 through 1933. In 1913, John North Willys acquired the Edwards Motor Car Company of Long Island, New York, and moved the operations to Elyria, Ohio, and into the plant he owned which had previously manufactured the Garford automobile. The Willys-Knight vehicles were powered by a Knight sleeve valve engine.

A sleeve-valve V8 engine was introduced in 1917 in the Model 8-88 and remained in production until 1919. During its production lifespan, a total of 2,750 examples were built. Production of the Willys-Knight continued until November 1932 when the company was forced into receivership. They ceased production of higher-priced cars and instead focused their efforts on building the inexpensive Willys 77.
