wmsue Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) Great to see the new forum page dedicated to the Knight engine.I've been fascinated with the Knight engine for many years. I've been looking for and someday will have a Willys-Knight or Falcon-Knight car.The other car of my dreams is a Chandler or Cleveland. But that's a topic for a different time. Thanks to all who are responsible for the new look to the forum and the new site for Knight engines. thanks Bill Edited June 7, 2015 by wmsue (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pughs Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Bill, Thank you for your comments. There have been several Willys-Knights and at least one Falcon-Knight on eBay recently. I hope you find one. I don't know why this forum is not in alphabetical order, but will try to find out. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8E45E Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 You forgot the Russell-Knight! http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/showthread.php?53886-Orphan-of-the-Day-08-22-1913-Russell-Knight Russell Motor Cars had the exclusive right to the Knight engine in Canada. This prevented others using the Knight engine, including Willys-Knight from entering the Canadian market. John North Willys bought Russell Motor Company in 1916 so he could gain a foothold in Canada.

8E45E Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 There was also the Handley-Knight from Kalamazoo. http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/showthread.php?51853-Orphan-of-the-Day-06-08-1922-Handley-Knight I can't remember if this Stearns had the Knight engine or not: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/showthread.php?47421-Orphan-of-the-Day-12-31-1910-Stearns-30-60-Limousine though this Willys-Knight certainly did: http://forum.studebakerdriversclub.com/showthread.php?48237-Orphan-of-the-Day-01-29-1928-Willys-Knight Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pughs Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 8E45E, Thank you for letting us know about additional Knight engined cars. There are probably a bunch more that I missed when I wrote the opening thread. Everyone should feel free to add to the list of cars using the Knight engine.

JFranklin Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Have any Knight engine owners ever had one rebuilt successfully by any shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark66A Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 They are being rebuilt regularly. Check in with the W.O.K.R. club. A member recently did a total rebuild on a 1912 Stearns Knight four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
