When Is A Whippet Not A Dog

[trac]

i was googling for something this afternoon and came across this (w00t)

its a whippet sedan

The Whippet car had a short but surprisingly successful sales history. A product of the Willys-Overland Co. of Toledo, Ohio, it was introduced late in 1926 as a 1927 model to replace the Overland, which had not really appealed to buyers in the low-priced field. The name was derived from the Whippet dog and was meant to denote a vehicle that was small yet swift. :teehee:

They were very popular here when I was a kid. Quite a few driving around and we knew someone who had one.

We had a Singer though
