Included for you in this lot is a RARE single sided advertising sign for Willys-Overland Company, advertising for their line of small affordable vehicles - the Whippet line. It was in 1926 Willys-Overland started producing the Whippet as competition to the Chevrolet International, De Soto Model K, Essex the Challenger, the Pontiac Big Six, and the Plymouth Model U. All of these vehicles competed in an 'Under $900' bracket, with the Whippet selling for $760. The embossed tin sign supports Willys-Overlands claim, reading; "Dollar for Dollar Value - Whippet - Product of Willys-Overland Company". Additionally, the sign is marked on the bottom right hand corner with; "M.C.A. Sign Co., Massillon, OHIO". Overall, the sign shows good condition for age, there is some chipping to the paint, thought the graphic still displays bright! The sign measures 22 3/8" wide, and 11 3/4" tall.
