RimrockRandy Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Here's a puzzling Willys-Knight question. I am meeting regularly with a 93-year-old Lady to record her stories about traveling various Arizona highways in the 1920s-'30s and '40s. We are currently working on her story about camping in Oak Creek Canyon in the late '20s and early '30s. She told me her dad had a Willys-Knight that carried the family from Phoenix to Oak Creek (north of Sedona, AZ). I sent her several photos of various 1920s Willys-Knights and this was her reply: "This one looks like I remember it, but, I think it had a solid top. There were isinglass curtains that could be attached if it rained." So, did all the Willys-Knight sedans have regular glass windows? Which model or models would have had isinglass windows? Attached is the model that I sent and she commented on. Thank you for your help on this. (Once I get this particular interview properly recorded and document, I will put it online and have it as a comment here.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
