...Indianapolis, Marmon had announced a new light eight, and Auburn another. John North Willys had already announced a new Willys-Knight 70, his Overland "Whippet" of 1926 having failed to excite the public as calculated. Fresh refinements, knickknacks, improved appearance were expected in such cars as Dodge, Nash and Chrysler, but nothing radical. All these companies finished the year strongly.

Well, they said that about John Willys. Now look at the Whippet go. They thought Chrysler was a boob because he had no wheelbase two years ago. Who cares now?
