Specialist Notes
The Whipped in 1926 was America's smallest car. Produced by Willys-Overland, the new brand was intended to replace the Overland as an economical car with a smaller footprint, and was very competitive on the market in both price and performance. Unfortunately the factory closed its doors in 1931 due to the Great Depression. Although around 600,000 examples were produced over the course of five years, Whippets are very rarely seen today. Our car, chassis 7918, is a four-cylinder cabriolet from 1927. Bought by the current owner in 1998, over the years the car has been restored inside and out in the bodywork, but having stood still for some years it requires prior tuning. point before being able to circulate. The wheels turn and work perfectly, as does the steering; the gearbox is not blocked. There is also an additional spare tire with the same design as those fitted.
