Canada

Presence of this company in Canada started in 1914 in Hamilton, Ontario with Willys-Overland of Canada Limited. A branch plant of the Willys-Overland company, the Willys-Overland Limited Company, was founded in 1915 in Canada with the Russell Motor Car company having one-third interest in the new company. John Willys was the president and Tommy Russell, the vice-president. It was established in the Russell factory. Production of cars ceased during the war and began again in 1919 until the Great Depression. Production ceased in Canada in 1933. After this, models were imported. The Willys-Knight models were always imported in Canada This firm also advertized a lot into Canadian magazines.

Technique

The Willys-Knight car was introduced in 1914 and lasted until 1933. It was popular since it was a quality car at low price. It used the knight sleeve valve engine. Willys-Overland was, from 1912-1916, the second largest seller of automobiles in the US. This gives a good context for our car. Willys-Overland produced more knight-engined cars than virtually all other manufacturer in the world combined. The Willys-Overland Co. was created in 1909 but originated in 1902 with the Standard Wheel Co. who designed the first Overland car. The firm grew very well and by 1915, it was the number two car manufacturer in United States after Ford. After WW1, the company suffered financial difficulties during the postwar recession. Walter Percy Chrysler was brought in to manage the company and imposed budget cuts during his stay. John Norton Willys came back to manage the firm and presented a popular new Overland model. Other Overland models will follow and in 1927, the Whippet model was introduced. During the Great Depression the company went into receivership again. In 1939, the Overland name will briefly arise again in a car that will become Willys American by 1941.
