Willys-Overland Prices Reduced Price reductions announced by Willys-Overland, put the com pany's vehicles at the lowest price level in their field, according to City Sales Oo., Inc., of North Wil kesboro, Willys-Overland dealer. The price reductions range Jfrom 925 to $270. In the passeng er car field, Willys-Overland now has the lowest-priced full-else station wagon, station sedan, and sports ear, Mr. Odell Whlttlng bon, Jr., declared. The new prio 1 es of the Willys-Overland three quarter ton truck, four-wheel | drive truck, panel delivery, and • Universal Jeep are also In the lowest range of their respective fields, he said. "These new low prices repre sent a double saving," Mr. WhiV tington pointed "out. "They pro* vide a low Initial cost in « lys-Overland vehicles in ton and maintenance. They are now America's most economical as well as most useful vehicles. I am proud that our company took the lead in bringing prices down." (In announcing the price reduc tions, James D. Mooney, presi dent and board chairman of Wil lys-Overland, said four major fac tors have made the move pos sible at this time. He listed these as: 1. Improvement in steel and other supplies. Willys-Overland now benefits from its purchasing policy during the period of great est shortage. With steel supplies improving, substantial savings in steel costs are possible since the company is not burdened with long-range contracts at high price8 nor high-cost steel produc ing facilities. 2. Easing of material short ages, resulting in savings through a sustained volume, a better con trol of stocks,«and a smoother flow of production." 3. Results of the Willys-Over land policy of maintaining its basic models instead of making annual model changeovers. Com bined with high inter-change ability, of parts, this policy avoids heavy tooling expenditures and castly interruptions of produc tion. 4. Willys-Overland's function al design, which eliminates the wasteful use of materials in frills that add nothing to a motor car's performance or comfort.
