A 1928 Falcon Knight

The company that produced the Falcon Knight, `Falcon Motors Corporation` was announced in November 1926. Within a few weeks in January 1927 the first Falcon Knight car was displayed at car shows.

The speed of it`s development was achieved by basing it closely on the Whippet 6 Model 93A which Willys Overland had completed in late 1926.

This car, the Falcon-Knight `Six` of 1928 is a later development of the design, and in fact is from the last year of production before Falcon-Knight was absorbed into Willys.
