This sporty black and yellow Model 96A four cylinder Whippet marks an important advancement in automotive development. Bearing a quality restoration in lively yellow with black fenders, it was designed with far more than practical transportation in mind. The fender-mounted spare leaves the user unimpeded trunk space, while the artillery wheels come with demountable rims (currently outfitted with Firestone whites). The cockpit and rumble seat are well upholstered in brown leather. Accessories include wind wings, a winged MotoMeter, and running board step plates. Turn signals were inconspicuously added for safety. Whippet quickly became competition for its popular contemporary, the Willys Overland. Lighter and boasting a longer wheelbase, Whippet's sales soon eclipsed the Overland. While its engine was smaller, advancements like pump-circulated cooling and full-pressure oiling made the Whippet a better performer.
